  Glen Garioch 2011/2023 Signatory Small Batch 12 year old Single Highland Malt Whisky 48,2%

  Item no.: 222333-88745

  Signatory is based at Edradour in Perthshire, and the Small Batch range is where they marry a handful of casks from the same distillery rather than chase the one perfect barrel. Number 14 in the series came from Glen Garioch.

  The expert's description

  Glen Garioch 2011/2023 Signatory Small Batch Edition #14 is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st fill bourbon barrels and bottled at 48.2%.

  The batch was distilled in 2011 and spent 12 years in 1st fill bourbon barrels. The 48.2% is not cask strength but the strength Signatory chose to gather the batch at, and the whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured. The point of a small batch is to gain the breadth of several casks without losing the distillery voice.

  Signatory Vintage has been bottling single malt since 1988 and bought Edradour distillery in 2002, where the warehouses sit today. Andrew Symington built the company on one simple principle: buy the casks early, leave them alone for a long time, and do as little as possible to them before bottling.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh orange peel and honey, with dried barley behind. There is a confectionery streak to it — coconut macaroon and soft vanilla, clearer once the glass has stood a while.

  Palate

  Creamy and round. Toffee, vanilla custard and butterscotch, with baked orchard fruit and toasted almonds. The spice is restrained and arrives only at the end.

  Finish

  Medium to long. Vanilla and caramel first, then a warming wave of spice and a dry American oak close.

  Item no.: 059763-615-166

  Signatory Vintage's Small Batch series combines several casks to achieve a more rounded character than a single cask bottling – this 12 year old Glenrothes is a fine example of what that approach can give.

  Expert's Description

  The whisky is bottled at 48.2%, non-chill-filtered and with natural colour, giving a full-bodied balance between the sherry's sweetness and the bourbon cask's lighter, vanilla-driven tones.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Soft fruit sweetness, vanilla and a touch of sherry spice.

  Round and balanced, with apple, caramel and a light nutty tone from the sherry casks.

  Finish

  Medium length, warm and lightly sweet.

  Item no.: 059763-615-165

  Six stills, nine distillations for every two runs of spirit – Mortlach's process is so eccentric that no other distillery has dared copy it.

  Expert's Description

  Mortlach 2012/2023 Signatory Vintage Small Batch Edition No. 1 is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky combining oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, bottled at 48.2%.

  Signatory's Small Batch series combines a small number of casks to deliver a more complex, yet still hand-picked profile than the pure single cask releases. The combination of oloroso sherry and bourbon gives this Mortlach both dark fruit and lighter vanilla tones.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The glass first greets you with raisin, quickly followed by dried fig and a hint of dark chocolate.

  Palate

  The palate is full-bodied with dried fruit, sherry sweetness and brown sugar.

  Finish

  The finish is warm with a hint of oak.

  Item no.: 059763-615-724

  Mortlach's dark, sulphury character has made the distillery a favourite among independent bottlers looking for something with an edge.

  Palate

  The palate delivers preserved cherry and dark berries, with a hint of light tannin.

  Finish

  Speyside (M) 2011/2024 Signatory Vintage 12 years old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48.2%

  Item no.: 059763-615-934

  Signatory Vintage knows what it's doing. When they select a cask from one of Speyside's most iconic distilleries and let it rest for 12 years in Oloroso sherry casks, the result is predictable in the best possible sense.

  Expert's Description

  Speyside (M) 2011/2024 Signatory Vintage 12 Year Old is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2024 by independent bottler Signatory Vintage. Matured in Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at 48.2% as part of Signatory's Small Batch series, Edition #11. The distillery behind the malt is Macallan — one of Speyside's most acclaimed names, whose fruity and sherry-driven character here expresses itself on Signatory's own terms.

  An independent bottling like this provides access to an expression that does not necessarily follow the distillery's own brand or house style. This is the Macallan character seen from the outside — a different experience from opening a bottle from the official range.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  A textbook sherry bomb with bags of raisins, figs, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger. Dark sugar, walnut and golden syrup. Bright cherry top notes.

  Palate

  Dried fruits lead with raisins and dried plums. More oak than the nose with notes of charcoal and dark chocolate. Cherry and sherry-soaked orange zest.

  Finish

  Medium to long finish with dark fruits and gentle oak bitterness. The sherry cask's deep imprint lingers for a considerable time.
