Strathmill 1980-1992 - SMWS 100.1
Strathmill 1980 - 1992. Bottled by The Scotch Malt Whisky Society. Society cask number 100.1. 70cl. 60.7%. 106 Proof.
A particularly significant early Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottling, this Strathmill was distilled in October 1980 and bottled in October 1992 at a hearty natural cask strength of 60.7%.
This carries the Society code 100.1, marking the first cask ever bottled by the SMWS from Strathmill distillery. These inaugural “.1” releases are exceptionally rare today and have considerable appeal to collectors of early Society bottlings.
Strathmill is one of Speyside’s quieter distilleries, with the great majority of its production historically destined for blends and relatively little appearing as single malt, particularly during this period. An excellent opportunity to try old-style Strathmill in completely unadorned form, bottled at full strength during the formative years of the SMWS.
The Strathmill distillery is one of Diageo's most obscure workhorses. Built in 1891, today it makes a modern-style Speyside spirit, with four stills producing around 2.5m litres per year, the overwhelming majority of which is destined for blenders - Strathmill is one of the key malts in the J&B blended whisky recipe.
Strathmill’s Centenary Decanter, a limited edition of just 100 bottles released in 1991, is believed to be the first bottling of the distillery’s single malt in living memory; the first independent bottlings appeared from Cadenhead’s and the SMWS in 1992.
Strathmill has enjoyed very few official distillery bottlings, with only the Flora and Fauna 12-year-old, a Managers' Choice bottling and one Special Release edition released this century. However, independent Strathmills show the spirit is technically very pure, fruity, clean and grassy - one of the exemplars of the lighter style of Speyside.
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) began in late 1970s Edinburgh when founder Pip Hills persuaded a group of friends to chip in for a cask of Glenfarclas, and was officially formalised in 1983. Today the SMWS has members rooms in Edinbrugh, Glasgow and London and a string of international partnerships serving its 40,000 members.
The Society’s whiskies are known for their unique SMWS coding system. Each cask bottled is assigned two numbers, representing the distillery and the bottling number, so 1.45 is the forty-fifth cask bottled from the first distillery and 33.27 is the 27th cask from the 33rd distillery.
Glenmorangie bought the Society in 2004, but sold it in 2015 to a private consortium who floated the SMWS on the stock market in 2021 via their holding company Artisanal Spirits Co.
