  Linkwood 2012/2023 Signatory Vintage 10 year Bourbon Barrel Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 59%

  Item no.: 222273-0165

  Linkwood sits a little apart on the edge of Elgin, where the distillery's two stillhouses have quietly built a reputation as one of Speyside's most sought-after – and least seen – malts. Most of what comes off Linkwood's stills ends up in Johnnie Walker and White Horse, never under its own name. When a single cask does make it into a bottle, it's almost always an independent bottler who found it.

  The Expert's Description

  Linkwood 2012 Signatory Vintage Cask Strength Collection is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel and bottled at cask strength, 59%.

  Among whisky people, Linkwood is often called a "top dressing" malt – the kind of spirit blenders keep back to add an extra layer of finish and lift to their blends. Because Diageo, who own the distillery, so rarely release Linkwood as a single malt, it's the independent bottlers who have kept the name alive among enthusiasts. Signatory Vintage sourced this cask from the 2012 vintage and let it mature for ten years before drawing it straight from the cask in 2023, without colouring or chill filtration.

  The cask is a 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel, meaning it held no other whisky before Linkwood – giving a cleaner, more direct read of both the grain and the wood than a refill cask would. At 59% there's plenty of power in the glass, and it's up to the drinker to find the balance with a little water.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Freshly cut hay and green apples meet a creamy vanilla note from the cask, with a hint of honey and a touch of grain underneath.

  Palate

  Delicate malted barley and ripe pear, carried by soft vanilla and a peppery warmth that makes the cask strength obvious.

  Finish

  Long, dry and lightly spiced, with a lingering note of citrus peel and good oak that stays with you.

  Investment Potential

  Medium. Linkwood is one of the most sought-after "top dressing" malts among blenders, yet it rarely reaches the market as a single cask under its own name. With only 143 bottles from this specific cask, drawn at cask strength by a respected bottler like Signatory Vintage, it holds real appeal for collectors chasing closed and under-exposed Speyside distilleries.

  Did You Know?

  After Linkwood reopened in 1945, it was run for years by the Gaelic-speaking distiller Roderick Mackenzie, who was so convinced that even the cobwebs in the stillhouse affected the character of the spirit that he refused to let anyone touch them.

  Glen Spey 2010/2022 Signatory Vintage 11 year old Single Speyside Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 222526-19723

  In Rothes, wedged between churchyard walls and the more famous names next door, stands a distillery few have heard of — yet one that has given the J&B blend its light, floral backbone for decades. Now it steps forward alone, without added colour, without filtration, honestly and directly.

  Note: Rust on the cap may occur and signs of wear on the label.

  Expert's description

  Signatory Vintage Glen Spey 11 year Un-Chillfiltered Collection is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Speyside matured in 1st use hogsheads, bottled at 46% non-chill filtered. Glen Spey is one of the most retiring distilleries in all of Speyside. Founded in 1878 by grain merchant James Stuart, who initially built the site as a harbour mill before buying Macallan and selling Glen Spey to English wine merchants W. & A. Gilbey in 1887 — the first Scottish distillery to come into English hands. Since then the distillery has primarily been used as a supplier to blends.

  This bottle is released by Signatory Vintage as part of their Un-Chillfiltered Collection — always bottled at a minimum of 46% and without chill filtration, preserving all the natural oils and structure. The spirit was distilled on 16 September 2010 and rested in a pair of 1st use hogsheads before being bottled on 7 January 2022. The result is a full, rounded version of a distillery otherwise known for its light and delicate style — thanks to Glen Spey's distinctive purifiers on the spirit stills, which increase reflux and create a cleaner, more perfumed spirit.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Floral tones meet ripe pears and apples, spiced with a trace of vanilla from the casks. Beneath it all lies a light malty sweetness reminiscent of freshly baked cake.

  Palate

  Soft and rounded with a grainy sweetness, fresh fruit and a hint of honey. The unfiltered style delivers a slightly fuller body than one usually associates with this distillery's light character.

  Finish

  Medium-length with notes of malt, soft oak and a gentle spice that slowly fades.

  Ben Nevis 2014/2023 Signatory 8 year old Single Highland Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 222255-99655

  In the shadow of Ben Nevis at Fort William, where the highest mountain in Scotland looms over the distillery, sits some of the most understated character in whisky. No smoke, no noise, just malt, clay and time, caught in a pair of old sherry casks.

  The expert's description

  Ben Nevis 2014/2023 Signatory Vintage 8 years Un-Chillfiltered Collection is a Single Highland Malt Whisky matured in two 2nd fill Oloroso sherry butts, casks no. 277 and 278, and bottled at 46 % without chill filtration and without added colour.

  The Un-Chillfiltered Collection is the Signatory range where everything is released unfiltered and uncoloured, so the whole character of the cask stays in the glass. The whisky was distilled on 8 December 2014 and bottled in January 2023 after eight years in wood.

  The two refill butts give a more restrained sherry influence than a first fill cask would, but enough to draw out dried fruit, nuts and a lightly spiced warmth. The Ben Nevis spirit is rustic and powerful and built for this kind of maturation, where the weight of the malt meets the sweetness of the cask without either taking charge.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dried fruit, hazelnut and an earthy malt note. Behind it sit a hint of wet clay and orange.

  Palate

  Rustic and powerful with raisin, nut and spiced warmth. The malt takes up more room than the cask, and that is the whole point of the range.

  Finish

  Long and dry with nut, spice and an earthy undertone.

  Did you know?

  Chill filtration spread in the 1960s because supermarkets complained about cloudy whisky on the shelves. The process removes the fatty acids that cause haze at low temperatures, but it takes a share of the texture with it.

  Fettercairn 1996/2014 Signatory 17 Year Old Single Highland Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22218-50

  A cask filled on the last day of September 1996, and then seventeen years in which nobody touched it. Signatory left it standing until it was finished with itself, and bottled it as it was.

  Please note: wear and rust on the lid and the box.

  The expert description

  Fettercairn 1996/2014 Signatory 17 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a single hogshead and bottled at 46%.

  The cask, number 4339, was filled on 30 September 1996 and bottled on 20 February 2014. Signatory Vintage of Pitlochry buys single casks from distilleries across Scotland and bottles them without chill filtration and without added colour, and it is exactly this kind of release where the character of Fettercairn is allowed to stand without being tidied up.

  Seventeen years in a hogshead is a calm maturation. The cask is large enough that the oak never takes charge, and the result is the clean, fruity house style in a more mature and restrained form than the official releases.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Soft notes of ripe barley, citrus oil and vanilla, with light tropical fruit and a touch of fresh oak and honey behind.

  Palate

  Round and full with classic Fettercairn tones of malt, pale caramel and fresh fruit, held together by a discreet spiced warmth from the cask.

  Finish

  Long, clean and lightly mineral with a dry elegance that reveals both the age and the quiet work of the cask.

  Ardmore 2010/2022 Signatory Vintage 12 Year Old Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 226-19727911

  Three casks from April 2010 sat for twelve years before somebody decided they belonged together. That is the kind of choice that never makes it onto the label, yet it decides what ends up in the glass.

  Please note: This bottle has wear and rust on the cap.

  The Expert's Description

  Ardmore 2010/2022 Signatory Vintage 12 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon casks 800518, 800527 and 800531 and bottled at 46%. It was distilled in April 2010 and bottled in November 2022 in Signatory’s Un-Chillfiltered Collection.

  The Un-Chillfiltered Collection was created for those who want single malt in its most natural form: bottled without chill filtration and without added colour, so the whisky reaches the bottle as it came out of the cask, apart from an adjustment of strength to 46%.

  Three bourbon casks give a broader starting point than one. Each cask has its own small quirk, and vatted together they even each other out. The result is an Ardmore where the peat smoke and the malt sweetness hold each other in balance rather than one cask’s character dominating.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Toasted malt and dry smoke first, with honey and baked apple behind. There is a light coconut and vanilla note from the bourbon wood and a fine, clean cereal floor running through it all.

  Palate

  Full and malty. Honey and vanilla open, then the smoke arrives as a dry earthy floor along with a touch of pepper and citrus peel. After twelve years the edges have been smoothed off, and balance is the real strength here.

  Finish

  Medium to long. Malt, honey and dry smoke, letting go slowly and cleanly.

The company also owns the Edradour distillery in Perthshire, and Signatory’s warehousing and bottling facilities sit right beside it. The journey from cask to bottle is therefore a short one.

  Dailuaine 2009/2022 The Un-Chillfiltered Collection Signatory 12 Year Old Single Speyside Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22-197284558

  Two hogsheads, twelve years and no treatment along the way. Signatory calls the range Un-Chillfiltered, but in practice it is just as much about what you refrain from doing.

  Please note: Rust on the cap and wear to the carton label.

  Expert description

  Dailuaine 2009/2022 The Un-Chillfiltered Collection Signatory Vintage 12 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in two hogsheads and bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

  The casks carry the numbers 307385 and 307386. The whisky was distilled on 6 May 2009 and bottled on 4 February 2022. The range gathers hand-picked releases from distilleries across Scotland, where the whisky is allowed into bottle in its most untreated form. Dailuaine delivers a heavier spirit than most of its Speyside neighbours, and twelve years in hogsheads is enough to give balance without erasing the malted core.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fresh and cereal-led. Green apple, malt and vanilla, with a light herbal note and a touch of citrus peel.

  Palate

  Clean and malty. Cereal, honey and baked fruit, with vanilla from the oak and a dry, lightly spiced middle. The texture is fuller than filtered whisky at the same strength.

  Finish

  Medium and dry, with malt, apple and a mild oak note.

  Ben Nevis 2013/2021 Signatory 8 year old Single Highland Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 2255-99634

  Eight years and one month between filling and bottling. Signatory notes the dates precisely, down to the day, and that is not pedantry. It is the kind of information that makes it possible to understand why two bottles from the same distillery taste different.

  Please note: The cap on the bottle is rusty. It has no bearing on the whisky inside, but we would rather say so up front.

  The expert's description

  Ben Nevis 2013/2021 Signatory Vintage 8 years is a Single Highland Malt Whisky matured in hogsheads, casks no. 427 and 429, and bottled at 46 %.

  The whisky went into cask on 17 October 2013 and was drawn on 19 November 2021. Two hogsheads were bottled together, which gives a slightly larger outturn than a single cask, but it remains a limited release from two casks that lay side by side.

  This and the seven year old sister bottling come from the same distillation day. The difference lies purely in which casks were chosen and when they were drawn, which makes the pair an unusually good exercise in what a single year in cask actually means.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Malt, pear and pale oak with a note of melted butter. A hint of wet stone sits behind it.

  Palate

  Rounder than the seven year old with honey, cereal and a touch of cinnamon. The oily texture is still there, but the edges have been worn down a little.

  Finish

  Medium and warm with malt, oak and a dry close.

  Benrinnes 2012/2023 Signatory Vintage 10 yr Dechar Rechar Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58%

  Item no.: 222093-55885

  Dechar and rechar is a violent treatment: the charred layer is scraped away and the wood is burned again. The cask gets a new life, and the whisky gets a toasted sweetness you will not find in ordinary bourbon wood.

  The expert's description

  Benrinnes 2012/2023 Signatory Vintage 10 years Dechar Rechar is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a dechar/rechar bourbon hogshead and bottled at 58 % cask strength.

  Cask no. 310542 was filled on 25 June 2012 and emptied on 1 March 2023, yielding 270 bottles. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

  The treatment removes the burnt inner layer of the cask, exposing fresh wood which is then charred anew. That gives a far more active surface than an ordinary refill cask, and in ten years the whisky draws vanilla, toasted sugar and spiced oak from the wood.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Warm bourbon notes with vanilla, toasted oak and caramelised sugar. Beneath the sweetness sit baked apples, citrus oil and a hint of malt biscuit.

  Palate

  Intense, full and oily. Vanilla pod, burnt sugar and spiced oak meet the heavy core of the spirit. The 58 % gives structure, and a few drops of water open a fresh fruit centre.

  Finish

  Long and warm with toasted wood, malt and a subtle spiced edge that lingers.

  Ardmore 2009/2020 Signatory Vintage 11 years old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 059763-12846

  The casks had held Islay whisky before Ardmore moved in. It sounds like a footnote, but it changes everything: here Highland peat meets the remains of coastal peat in the wood itself.

  Please note: This bottle has wear and rust on the cap.

  The Expert's Description

  Ardmore 2009/2020 Signatory Vintage 11 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon casks that previously held Islay whisky and bottled at 46%. It was distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2020 in Signatory’s Un-Chillfiltered Collection.

  A cask does not forget. If it has held heavily peated Islay whisky, phenols remain in the staves and leach into the next filling. When the contents are already peated Highland malt from Ardmore, you end up with two different kinds of smoke layered on each other: the dry earthy one from Aberdeenshire and a hint of the maritime one from the west coast.

  The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured. Bottling at 46% was chosen to preserve body and mouthfeel without going all the way to cask strength.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dry smoke first, with a suggestion of seaweed and iodine behind it that has no business being in a Highland. Vanilla, malt and green apple from the bourbon wood sit underneath.

  Palate

  Malty and soft to begin, then the smoke arrives in two layers: first the dry earthy one, then a saltier, more medicinal note from the cask’s past life. At 46% there is good body, and the two kinds of smoke stand clearly beside each other.

  Finish

  Medium to long. Ash, salt and malt, with a dry close where the Islay inheritance lingers longest.

  Did You Know?

  Ardmore was built in 1898 by Adam Teacher to secure malt for the family blend, Teacher's Highland Cream. For decades the distillery was almost invisible to consumers, because virtually all of its output went straight into blends. That is why most Ardmore bottles on the market still come from independent bottlers.

  The casks, numbers 4351 and 4356, were filled on 30 September 1996 and bottled on 29 October 2015. Two casks from the same filling day give a slightly broader profile than a single cask without losing the stamp of the individual vintage.

  Nineteen years is enough for the light, sweet spirit of the distillery to gain depth without turning woody. The whisky is bottled in natural colour and without chill filtration, so every nuance stands untouched.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Opens with ripe cereal notes, citrus and vanilla, and a light tropical sweetness followed by fresh oak and a touch of honey.

  Palate

  Full and rounded with classic Fettercairn tones of malt, pale caramel and green fruit, and a mild spiced warmth from the cask.

  Finish

  Long, clean and lightly mineral with a dry elegance that speaks of nearly two decades of quiet maturing in the Highland climate.

  Did you know?

  When two casks from the same filling day are married, it is no longer called single cask, but it is not a blend either. Bottlers do it because two identical casks rarely taste identical, and because two casks stretch to twice as many bottles as one.

  Teaninich 2008/2021 Signatory Vintage 13 years Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1147981

  Thirteen years of quiet rest in a Highland warehouse have given this Teaninich a maturity that only truly unfolds once the cork comes out.

  Expert description

  Teaninich 2008/2021 from Signatory is a 13 year old Single Highland Malt Whisky at 46%, distilled on 9 October 2008 and bottled on 23 November 2021 by the Scottish independent bottler Signatory Vintage.

  The whisky matured in hogsheads, the mid-sized cask type often used for a steady, controlled maturation that lets the spirit lead. The result is a whisky that shows Teaninich's characteristic light, elegant style clearly.

  The bottling is part of Signatory's extensive single distillery catalogue, where the company has specialised since 1988 in sourcing and bottling outstanding casks from across Scotland.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Ripe apple and pear mingle with light honey and a hint of freshly baked bread.

  Palate

  Round and gently creamy, with notes of caramel, malt and a faint touch of nutmeg.

  Finish

  Medium length, dry and lightly spiced, closing on a last trace of oak.

  Glenlossie 2012/2025 Signatory Vintage 12 Year 100 Proof Edition #35 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57.1%

  Item no.: 05555-75563

  Glenlossie sits just south of Elgin, and it's a name most drinkers have tasted without ever knowing it, since the bulk of its output disappears into Haig's blends. Signatory Vintage went digging in the warehouses anyway and pulled out a cask for their 100 Proof series, where quality and an honest price matter more than fanfare.

  The Expert's Description

  Glenlossie 12 Year Old Signatory 100 Proof Edition #35 is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in first-fill Oloroso Sherry butts and bourbon hogsheads and bottled at cask strength, 57.1%.

  The whisky was distilled in 2012 and spent 12 years resting across a mix of sherry and bourbon casks before Signatory Vintage selected it as number 35 in their 100 Proof series, a line that gathers small-batch releases from different distilleries at the same classic strength, 57.1%, the old British measure for "100 proof". It's bottled without added colouring and without chill filtration, so whatever the casks gave it during those 12 years is still in the glass.

  Glenlossie itself is a workhorse for Diageo. Its stills are fitted with purifiers that send part of the vapour back into the pot before it reaches the condenser, producing a light, slightly oily spirit with a distinctive green, grassy edge. It's a style built to disappear into a blend without dominating it, yet it shows a completely different side once it's allowed to stand alone as a single malt.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Apple and pear meet honey and a hint of florals, with almonds and a touch of sherry sweetness sitting behind.

  Palate

  Toffee and candied orange peel unfold alongside a barley sweetness, while Glenlossie's green, herbal character keeps everything grounded.

  Finish

  Medium in length and warming, with a sherry note lingering in the background and a light spiced oak rounding things off.

  Did You Know?

  Glenlossie's founder, John Duff, left the distillery after ten years and headed to South Africa to build the country's first-ever distillery, a project that ran straight into political headwinds and never got off the ground. He tried his luck in the US afterwards, but eventually came back to Scotland and ended up managing a distillery in Aberdeen instead.

  Braeval 2000/2023 Signatory Vintage 23 Year Old Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 60.4%

  Item no.: 5055335-8856

  The last of three sister casks from the same February day in 2000. This one was left two years longer than the others, and the difference shows: more spice, more depth, less hurry.

  Expert description

  Braeval 2000/2023 Signatory Vintage 23 Years is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky from Refill Oloroso Sherry Butt #6391, bottled at cask strength, 60.4%, without chill filtration and without added colour.

  The whisky was distilled on 16 February 2000 and bottled on 3 April 2023 as part of Signatory Vintage's Cask Strength Collection. The cask gave 603 bottles.

  Braeval, formerly Braes of Glenlivet, sits high in Speyside and is one of those distilleries found almost only in independent bottlings. High age combined with a quiet oloroso cask gives fruity complexity rather than heavy sherry sweetness.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dried fruit and toffee apples with clove and lime zest on top.

  Palate

  Flower honey and baking spice with dried apricot, walnut and a firm oak core. Powerful, but never coarse.

  Finish

  Long and spiced with nuts, dark honey and a dry, warm close.

  Investment potential

  Medium. 23 years, a single cask and 603 bottles from a distillery that does not release single malt itself. Signatory's Cask Strength Collection sees steady demand from collectors.

  Did you know?

  Oloroso sherry is aged oxidatively, that is, in contact with air, which gives nut and dried fruit rather than fresh grape notes. That is why oloroso casks are the most widely used sherry type for whisky.

  Unnamed Speyside 2005/2018 Signatory Vintage 12 Year Old Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 055666-44785

  Some distilleries prefer their name kept off independent bottlings, and the bottle is then sold under a neutral name instead. "Unnamed Speyside" is exactly that, all the character, none of the name.

  Note: the metal tube on the capsule may show rust.

  The expert's description

  Unnamed Speyside 2005/2018 Signatory Vintage 12 år Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46% is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in Two hogsheads, cask no. DRU 17/A106 51+52 and bottled at 46%.

  The whisky was distilled on 11 July 2005 and bottled on 26 February 2018 by Signatory Vintage as part of their Un-Chillfiltered Collection, matured in two hogsheads. Although the distillery is not officially disclosed, the style points to a classic Speyside character focused on fruit, malt and light spice.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh apples, citrus, malt and a hint of vanilla.

  Palate

  Lightly creamy with green fruit, grain, honey and mild spice.

  Finish

  Auchentoshan 1999/2024 Signatory 24 year old Symingtons Choice Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 55,6%

  Item no.: 222333-833690

  A triple distilled whisky is light in body from birth. Leaving one in cask for twenty-four years and still having something left requires the wood to have been gentle, and somebody to have had the patience not to empty it too early.

  The Expert's Description

  Auchentoshan 1999/2024 Signatory 24 Years Old Symingtons Choice is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2024 at 55.6% cask strength. It belongs to Signatory’s Symingtons Choice range, created as a tribute to the house founder Andrew Symington.

  Auchentoshan is the only Scottish distillery that consistently distils everything three times. That gives a silky, elegant spirit which with age has developed a complex and refined character rather than turning heavy. Twenty-four years is a long time for that particular style.

  The whisky is bottled at cask strength without chill filtration and with natural colour. Auchentoshan sits at Dalmuir outside Glasgow and was founded in 1823.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Delicate notes of honey, ripe stone fruit and fresh citrus open, beautifully balanced by vanilla and a light nutty tone from the maturation. At 55.6% the alcohol is up front, but the aromas carry it.

  Palate

  Full and harmonious with layers of caramelised malt, dried fruit, orange peel and subtle spice. The high cask strength gives intensity while Auchentoshan’s characteristic softness is preserved. There is no harshness despite the strength.

  Finish

  Long, warm and silky with persistent notes of oak, chocolate and a wisp of tobacco, testimony to the whisky’s long maturation.

  Flavour Profile

  Investment Potential

  High. Twenty-four year old Lowland releases are rare, because the region has few active distilleries and because the light style does not always survive such long maturation. On top of that, Symingtons Choice is a named tribute range of limited scope, and the cask cannot be recreated.

  Did You Know?

  Signatory Vintage was founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington, and the Symingtons Choice range carries his name. The company today also owns the Edradour distillery in Perthshire, and Signatory’s warehousing and bottling sit right beside it. Naming a range after the founder is not unusual; doing so while he is still active in the business is rather more so.

  Cameronbridge 2009/2025 Signatory Vintage 16 year 100 Proof Edition #3 Single Grain Whisky 57,1%

  Item no.: 0597555-411333

  100 proof is an old British measure equal to 57.1 percent. Signatory has turned the number into an entire series, and it is not arbitrary: that is exactly the strength at which gunpowder soaked in spirit would still ignite.

  Expert description

  Cameronbridge 2009/2025 Signatory Vintage 16 Years 100 Proof Edition #3 is a Single Grain Scotch Whisky matured in first fill and second fill Oloroso Sherry Butts and bottled at 57.1% without chill filtration and without added colour.

  The whisky was distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2025. Signatory's 100 Proof series is defined by its fixed bottling strength and by casks selected specifically for it. Combining first and second fill oloroso butts gives both power and balance.

  Cameronbridge is Europe's largest grain distillery and sits in Fife. The distillery's grain whisky is typically described as smooth and approachable, and the sherry matured releases show a darker side than grain is usually associated with.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Butterscotch and maple syrup with a delicate floral elegance on top.

  Palate

  Soft and creamy with chocolate cake, sultana raisins and roasted nuts. The sherry character brings velvet sweetness and depth.

  Finish

  Long and warm with dark chocolate, nuts and a dry, spiced close.

  Ardlair 2011/2023 Signatory Vintage 12 Year Old Sherry Butt Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 63.4%

  Item no.: 22244-78663

  Two casks filled on the same day, in the same warehouse, with the same spirit. One was emptied in January, the other in March. Fourteen months and four digits separate them, and they do not taste alike. That is exactly why single casks are interesting.

  The Expert's Description

  Ardlair 2011/2023 Signatory Vintage 12 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a refill Oloroso Sherry Butt and bottled at 63.4% cask strength. Cask 900028 was distilled on 27 January 2011 and bottled on 8 March 2023, giving 622 bottles in Signatory's Cask Strength Collection.

  Ardlair is the Ardmore distillery’s unpeated whisky, and because there is no smoke to contend with, the cask can work directly on the spirit’s fruitiness. The refill sherry cask gives a complex, fruity profile without drowning the spirit’s own character, and that balance is the whole point of a refill cask over a first fill.

  The whisky is bottled without chill filtration and with natural colour. Ardmore sits at Kennethmont in Aberdeenshire and has been running since 1898.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh apples first, then pistachios and burnt almonds. A dry sherry note sits behind, along with a light salted caramel sweetness that ties it together. At 63.4% the alcohol is obvious, so give the glass a little time.

  Palate

  Creamy in texture despite the strength. Dried fruit and nuts open, then salted caramel and a clear sherry character with spiced oak underneath. The whisky is powerful, yet it has finesse enough not to be merely power.

  Finish

  Long and persistent. Nuts, dried fruit and a dry oak close, where the sherry lets go last.

  Dailuaine 2008/2025 Signatory Vintage 16 Year Single Speyside Malt Whisky 57%

  Dailuaine has enough body to take an oloroso butt without being buried in it. That is why the distillery has been so useful in blends — and why the sherry finish works here.

  Expert description

  Dailuaine 2008/2025 Signatory Vintage 16 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in an oloroso sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 57% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

  The whisky was distilled on 9 April 2008 and bottled on 19 February 2025 from cask number 6, with an outturn of 681 bottles. The release belongs to Signatory's Cask Strength Collection. The combination of Dailuaine's fruity, malted base and the dark oloroso notes gives a whisky where sweetness and spice pull in different directions without fighting.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dried fruits such as raisins and figs, alongside roasted nuts, dark chocolate and spiced oak.

  Palate

  Deep and balanced. Sweetness and spice in fine interplay, with a full, oily texture in which the alcohol is elegantly integrated despite the 57%.

  Did you know?

  A finish in oloroso is not the same as full maturation in sherry wood. The whisky sits in its main cask first and is moved across for the final years — enough to give colour and fruit, but not long enough for the cask to take over the distillery's own voice.

  Clynelish 1995/2024 Symingtons Choice 28 Year Signatory Single Highland Malt Whisky 53.5%

  Item no.: 50595555-559

  Andrew Symington has spent almost four decades picking casks for other people. Symingtons Choice is the range where he picks for himself — and he started with a sherry butt from 1995.

  Expert description

  Clynelish 1995/2024 Symingtons Choice 28 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in an oloroso sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 53.5%.

  The cask is numbered 11250, was filled on 21 November 1995 and emptied on 29 April 2024. It gave 447 bottles. The Symingtons Choice range is named after Signatory founder Andrew Symington, who entered the Whisky Magazine Hall of Fame in 2021. Leaving Clynelish for 28 years in oloroso is a bold call — the distillery's waxy core can easily be buried in sherry, but here the two hold each other in check.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Deep and dark. Raisin, fig and toffee first, then orange peel, walnut and a damp tobacco note from the old wood.

  Palate

  Full and oily. Dried fruit, dark chocolate, candied ginger and a layer of cocoa. Beneath the sherry, Clynelish still pulls with its waxy texture and a trace of salt.

  Finish

  Very long and warm, with fig, nuts, dark cocoa and a dry spiced close that keeps going.

  Investment potential

  High. Twenty-eight years in one cask, 447 bottles and a range carrying the founder's own name. Old sherried Clynelish is scarce, and demand for the distillery has climbed steadily since Brora reopened.

  Signatory bought Edradour in 2002 — then Scotland's smallest distillery, where three men could run the whole production. Andrew Symington went from bottler to distiller without giving up either role.

  Auchroisk 2008/2025 Signatory 16 Year Symingtons Choice Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57.9%

  Item no.: 222333-87543

  Symingtons Choice is not a range you can subscribe to. These are the casks the family has set aside for themselves, and they are bottled when they are ready, not when the calendar says so.

  The Expert's Description

  Auchroisk 2008/2025 Signatory 16 Years Old Symingtons Choice is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a 1st fill Oloroso sherry cask and bottled at cask strength, 57.9%. Cask no. 4 gave 339 bottles, and the whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

  A first fill Oloroso cask is among the most active casks available. Over sixteen years it lays on dried fruit, nuts and spice in thick layers, and the strength of 57.9% holds it all together rather than letting it spread out.

  Auchroisk was built in 1974 to supply malt for the J&B blend, and the distillery’s bright, citrus-driven style is almost entirely covered here. It is the sherry that speaks, with the spirit holding the structure underneath.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Deep and dark. Raisins, dates and orange peel first, then walnut, dark chocolate and a dry spiced oak note. The alcohol is evident but not sharp.

  Palate

  Powerful and concentrated. Dried fruit and sherry sweetness hit first, then nuts, cinnamon, black pepper and a dry tanned oak note arrive. At 57.9% there is real weight, and the whisky takes water well.

  Finish

  Long and dry. Dark fruit, nuts and spiced oak that hold on for a long time and leave a lightly bitter chocolate note.

  Did You Know?

  Symingtons Choice is named after Signatory’s founding family and consists of casks the family has selected from their own warehouse. The range appears irregularly and in small quantities, because it is not governed by a release schedule but by when the individual casks are judged to be at their peak.

  Orkney 17 (HP) 2005/2023 Signatory Vintage 17 years old Cask #27 Single Malt Whisky 70 cl 55,3%

  Item no.: 222268-778896

  Some whiskies give away their origin in brackets. "(HP)" on this label is Signatory Vintage's quiet nod, without breaking any confidentiality — a single sherry-cask experience from Orkney, bottled at full cask strength after seventeen years on oak.

  Expert Description

  Orkney 17 (HP) 2005/2023 Signatory Vintage 17 Year Old is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky from a single Oloroso sherry butt, bottled at cask strength 55.3%.

  The name Orkney, paired with the bracketed hint (HP), is Signatory Vintage's discreet compromise: the distillery cannot be named, but the cask code DRU17/A63 and the nickname point unmistakably to Highland Park. The whisky spent its entire maturation in a single cask, number 27 — nothing blended in, nothing added.

  The cask was filled on 7 May 2005 and bottled on 17 February 2023, yielding 612 bottles with natural colour and no further dilution.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Raisins, orange peel and dark chocolate sit on top of a light peat smoke, with a hint of sea salt hinting at its coastal origin.

  Palate

  Rich and sherry-driven, with fig, damson jam and a warm clove spice, underscored by a muted, mineral smokiness.

  Finish

  Long and warming, with lingering sherry sweetness, a light bitter cocoa note and a final hint of seaweed and salt air.

  Whitlaw 2014/2024 Signatory Vintage 10 years Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 0597655-7412

  Hidden once more behind the name Whitlaw is Highland Park from Orkney, this time matured in casks given an extra turn through the fire. Rechar butts are not common, and the effect is unmistakable.

  The expert's description

  Whitlaw 2014/2024 Signatory Vintage 10 år Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 46% is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in Rechar butts and bottled at 46%.

  The whisky was distilled in September 2014 and bottled in September 2024 by Signatory Vintage, matured for 10 years in Rechar Butts. These are large 500-litre casks that have been re-charred inside to renew the active char layer, intensifying the interaction between wood and spirit and giving deeper notes of caramel, toasted oak and gentle smoke.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Honey, dried apricots and orange marmalade.

  Palate

  Vanilla, cinnamon and caramelised banana with a mild smoky tone.

  Finish

  Long and warm with almonds, sea salt and spice.

  Did you know?

  Rechar butts differ from ordinary sherry casks in that they are re-charred inside after their first use, a technique far less common than classic sherry seasoning.

  Benrinnes 1995/2015 Signatory 19 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 52,9%

  Item no.: 22227865479-7777

  One cask, full strength, no filtration and no colouring. Signatory does nothing to the whisky beyond moving it from cask to bottle, and with a spirit like Benrinnes that is the most honest way to meet the place.

  The expert's description

  Benrinnes 1995/2015 Signatory Vintage 19 years is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky matured in a hogshead, cask no. 5895, and bottled at 52.9 % cask strength without chill filtration and without added colour.

  The whisky went into cask on 6 June 1995 and was drawn on 9 April 2015 after nineteen years. The cask yielded 291 bottles, and the 52.9 per cent is the natural cask strength with no water added.

  Benrinnes is known for a heavy, almost meaty spirit with a light sulphur edge, coming from worm tub condensers and from the old system of three stills in series. Nineteen years in a hogshead is enough to round the edges without removing the character.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dry malt, walnut and apple peel with a light mineral edge.

  Palate

  Powerful and dry with cereal, spiced oak and a meaty middle. The cask strength gives bite without burning.

  Finish

  Long and dry with nut, pepper and a last malty warmth.

  Investment potential

  High. Nineteen year old Benrinnes from a single cask in 291 bottles cannot be recreated, and spirit predating the 2007 rebuild of the distillery is sought after by those who know the old house style.

  Did you know?

  Benrinnes used worm tubs, long coiled copper pipes in cold water vats, instead of modern shell and tube condensers. The method gives less copper contact and therefore a heavier spirit with more meat and sulphur.

  Glenlossie 2006/2021 Signatory 14 Year Old Bourbon Barrel Single Speyside Malt Whisky 58,6%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1432

  Two casks from the same distillate, bottled just a year apart – a rare chance to see how a single bourbon barrel can pull a whisky in its own direction. This is one half of that story.

  Expert's Description

  Glenlossie 2006/2021 Signatory 14 Year Old is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky bottled at cask strength, 58.6%.

  Distilled on 27 November 2006 and bottled on 22 April 2021 by Signatory, from two bourbon barrels, Cask No. 3291 and 3302, yielding 388 bottles – with no added colour and no chill filtration, so the colour is exactly what the casks gave it.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Pale honey and vanilla custard with a hint of coconut from the bourbon cask. Beneath the sweetness sits a dry, cereal malt and a touch of green apple.

  Palate

  Powerful and sweet, with caramel, vanilla sugar and a warm, peppery spice. The bourbon cask's imprint is clear, but it never smothers the malt beneath.

  Finish

  Long and dry, with a faintly bitter oak note and a last trace of honey.
