Strathmill Fine Old Scotch Whisky 1991 Centenary Bottle

Speyside is littered with distilleries, several of which only exist to provide content for blends. They are rarely seen in any shape or form and Strathmill is a classic example. Despite being a fairly old distillery, founded in 1891 in Keith, Strathmill did not make its single malt debut until 2001 in the Flora & Fauna series. Very little of it has been seen since, with the independent bottlers offering a sense of what it can do. The style of whisky is light, fresh and an inoffensive example of the Speyside region. This is achieved by the presence of purifiers on the spirit stills. These remove denser compounds and characteristics, thereby creating a whisky that can easily supplement a blend such as J&B Scotch.
