Strathmill 12 Year Old 2012 Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Edition #36 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Butts Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2025) 70cl
Edition 36 of the 100 Proof Range sees us in with a sherried Speysider, Strathmill. Not too commonly seen out in the wild so it is a welcomed addition.
A sherry-kissed Strathmill from Signatory’s 100 Proof Edition series, this 12-year-old single malt was distilled in 2012 and matured in first-fill oloroso sherry butts. Bottled at 100 Proof (57.1% ABV) in 2025 without chill-filtration or added colour, it's elegant, rich, and a great choice for those who enjoy Speyside malts with added depth.
Signatory Vintage Scotch is one of the most discerning independent bottlers of Scotch in the world. They bottle one cask at a time, capitalizing on the unique colour and flavour characteristics of each individual cask.
By sourcing all-natural malts from the best distilleries in Scotland, selecting the best single batches and bottling only the finest casks within those batches. The resulting “single, single, single malt” this is about as exclusive it gets.
About Strathmill
Light in character, Strathmill uses a long fermentation regime to help create fruitiness.
The distillery’s main production quirk comes in the form of a purifier pipe running from the lyne arm into the body of the spirit stills.
Like Glenlossie and Glen Spey, this adds a lightly oily character to the new make, here picked up almost as olive oil which mixes well with the lightly fruity/grassy notes.
Thanks to the River Isla, Keith has a long history of milling, both for meal and weaving (the town still has a kilt museum). Two of those old mill sites have since been converted to distilleries, Glen Keith and Strathmill.
Built in 1892, it was originally called Glenisla (with -Glenlivet suffixed). Its original owners sold it in 1895 to W&A Gilbey which was by then building its holdings in Scotch [see Glen Spey, Knockando]. As Gilbey moved through various incarnations so Strathmill became an integral part of the J&B family.
Its only official release is as part of the Flora & Fauna range.
