Signatory Vintage Whisky

For nearly four decades, Signatory Vintage has been pulling single casks out of Scottish warehouses and pouring them straight into the glass, unadorned and uncompromising. This is whisky where the distillery's soul is never drowned in colouring or filtration, and where every cask tells its own story.
  • Powerful Bunnahabhain bottle from Signatory Vintage with sherry colour
    Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-31

    At 63.8% on the label, this is one of the strongest Bunnahabhain releases ever to leave a Signatory warehouse.

    Please note: the box for this bottle is damaged/dented.

    Expert's Description

    Bunnahabhain 2012/2022 Signatory Vintage 10 Years Old is a Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry butt and bottled at cask strength, 63.8%.

    The whisky was distilled in May 2012 and bottled in September 2022 from cask #900789, a sherry cask that has held onto both colour and power well through the ten years. Signatory bottled 622 bottles from this single cask, all at full cask strength.

    The high strength means the whisky can – and rewards – a few drops of water, which open up the sherry cask's deeper layers.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Dark sherry, raisins and an intense spiciness of cloves and cinnamon.

    Palate

    Powerful and concentrated with dried fruit, walnuts and a burning warmth from the cask strength.

    Finish

    Very long, dry and spicy with lingering sherry.

    Did You Know?

    At 63.8%, this bottle sits close to the upper end of what a sherry cask typically yields at bottling without adjustment – the longer the maturation, the more alcohol normally evaporates, so a high strength after ten years is unusual.

    Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-29

    Signatory Vintage's Un-Chillfiltered Collection is about letting the whisky stand on its own. Ten years in a hogshead, 46% and no chill filtration. It has one chance to impress – and it uses it.

    Expert's description

    Caol Ila 2012/2022 Signatory Vintage 10 Years The Un-Chillfiltered Collection is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in hogshead casks, bottled at 46% without chill filtration and with natural colour.

    Signatory Vintage's Un-Chillfiltered Collection presents selected casks from Scottish distilleries at an accessible strength without compromise on bottling principles. Ten years in a hogshead gives a Caol Ila with more depth than young bottlings without losing the characteristic freshness.

    Compared to the 9-year (R65), this is one year older – which in practice gives a little more oak depth and a calmer, more integrated smoke. The profile is otherwise the same classic Caol Ila: salty, maritime and balanced.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Sea salt, light peat smoke and citrus with a soft vanilla undertone. A hint of seaweed and fresh oak.

    Palate

    Balanced and clean. Smoke, maritime notes, honey and a mild maltiness. Good body for 46% – well-made and accessible.

    Finish

    Moderate and fresh. Citrus, salt and a discreet smoke that fades slowly.

    The distillery closed over a decade ago, making every bottle of Port Dundas a piece of Scottish industrial history in a glass.

    Expert Review

    Port Dundas 1996/2022 Signatory 25 år Single Grain Whisky 57,3% is a Single Grain Whisky matured in a hogshead cask and bottled at 57.3% ABV.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    The nose is light and sweet, with vanilla, caramel and a hint of grain.

    Palate

    The palate is soft with toffee, honey and a light spiced warmth from the strength.

    Finish

    The finish is medium-long and sweet, with lingering vanilla.

    Investment Potential

    Port Dundas closed as a distillery in 2011, making all future bottlings a closed, dwindling stock. Combined with 25 years of maturation, this makes the release interesting for grain whisky collectors.

    Did You Know?

    Port Dundas Distillery in Glasgow was once one of Scotland's largest grain distilleries, but closed permanently in 2011 – all future whisky from the site therefore comes from casks already in storage.

  • Deanston 2008 Signatory Cask Strength Collection sherry butt bottle
    Item no.: 22227865391-8846-0522

    Sixty-six point eight percent after thirteen years. The cask has barely given up any alcohol along the way — and there is a very concrete reason for that.

    Expert description

    Deanston 2008/2022 Signatory Vintage 13 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a first fill sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 66.8% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The cask is numbered 900076, was filled on 13 August 2008 and emptied on 11 March 2022 with an outturn of 574 bottles. The release belongs to Signatory's Cask Strength Collection. A strength that high after thirteen years means the cask lost more water than alcohol — which happens in dry, airy warehouses rather than in damp earth-floored cellars.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dense and dark. Raisin, date and orange marmalade, with dark chocolate, nuts and a warm spiced note.

    Palate

    Fierce but well balanced. Dried fruit, cocoa and burnt sugar, with a dry sherry edge and a peppery warmth. Deanston's honey sits underneath and keeps the sweetness natural.

    Finish

    Very long, dry and spiced, with dark fruit, nuts and a slowly fading warmth.

    Did you know?

    Whether a whisky rises or falls in strength during maturation depends on the humidity in the warehouse. Where it is dry, water evaporates fastest and the strength climbs. Where it is damp, the alcohol goes first — which is why two casks filled the same day can end up in very different places.

    The Signatory Vintage water jug is a classic branded jug, originally made as a promotional item to sit at bars and in homes where Signatory Vintage was poured. It's used to add water to whisky drop by drop or in small amounts, letting the aromas open up.

    Signatory Vintage's Un-Chillfiltered Collection is exactly what it says: whisky bottled without chill filtration, in its natural form. From hogsheads 319473 and 319477, distilled in June 2012 and bottled in February 2022 – nine years and eight months in oak.

    Expert's description

    Caol Ila 2012/2022 Signatory Vintage 9 Years The Un-Chillfiltered Collection is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in two hogshead casks (nos. 319473 and 319477), bottled at 46% without chill filtration and with natural colour.

    Signatory Vintage's Un-Chillfiltered Collection is the accessible line – a step lower in strength than the Cask Strength Collection, but with the same philosophy: selected casks, natural colour and no manipulation. The result is a whisky you can enjoy neat without adding water.

    Caol Ila's maritime smoke at 46% is balanced and light. The hogshead casks from 2012 have given nine years of oak structure – classic Caol Ila with good body.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Classic Caol Ila: sea salt, light peat smoke and citrus. A soft vanilla undertone from the hogshead casks and a hint of seaweed.

    Palate

    Balanced and light. Smoke, maritime notes and a little honey. Body and freshness in good harmony – accessible and clean.

    Finish

    Moderate and fresh. Smoke fades gently with citrus and salt carrying through.

    Chill filtration removes the fatty acids and proteins that give whisky its body and flavour intensity. Bottling without chill filtration preserves these – which is why many collectors and enthusiasts specifically seek 'non chill-filtered' bottlings.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280105

    509 bottles from two hogsheads. The figure is printed on the label, and there is a reason for that. When you can count the bottles, you can also see that no more are coming.

    The Expert's Description

    Auchroisk 2009/2022 Signatory 12 Years Old is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured for twelve years in two hogsheads and bottled at 43%. The release gave 509 bottles and is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

    Cask numbers 804051 and 804052 are printed on the label along with the distillation and bottling dates. That is Signatory’s standard and one of the reasons the house has become a reference point for independent bottlings.

    Auchroisk sits in Speyside and was built in 1974 by Justerini & Brooks to supply malt for the J&B blend. The style is bright, citrus-driven and lightly spiced, and twelve years in refill hogsheads lets that character stand clearly.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fresh and clean. Citrus and green apple first, then vanilla, honey and a lightly cereal note from the spirit.

    Palate

    Soft and fruity. Apple and pear open, then citrus, vanilla and a lightly peppered oak note arrive. At 43% the body is good, and the absence of chill filtration gives a fuller mouthfeel than the figure suggests.

    Finish

    Medium and clean. Citrus, vanilla and a dry, lightly spiced close.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280103

    No filtration, no colouring, no adjustment. The Un-Chillfiltered Collection is Signatory's attempt to show a distillery as it actually comes out of the cask.

    Expert description

    Dailuaine 2008/2021 The Un-Chillfiltered Collection Signatory Vintage 13 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon casks and bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The whisky was distilled on 20 June 2008 and bottled on 6 August 2021, and the outturn was only 157 bottles. The range gathers hand-picked releases from distilleries across Scotland, chosen for their clear flavour profile rather than their name value. Dailuaine is one of those distilleries that almost never appears on its own bottles, and thirteen years in bourbon wood gives a clean, malted version with no cask make-up.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Pale and malty. Apple, cereal and vanilla, with a light floral note and a touch of citrus.

    Palate

    Clean and full. Malt, honey and baked apple, with vanilla from the bourbon cask and a dry spiced edge. The 46% gives good weight without tightening up.

    Finish

    Medium and dry, with cereal, vanilla and a light nutty note.

    Did you know?

    Chill filtration was introduced to stop whisky going hazy in the fridge — not to make it better. Signatory drops the step entirely in this range, which is why the whisky may cloud when cold. That is a sign the oils are still in it.

  • Bottle of Glenlossie Signatory 2009 Speyside Single Malt whisky
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280102

    Another vintage, another pair of casks, the same philosophy: no chill filtration, no added colour. Signatory's Un-Chillfiltered Collection is a reminder of just how different the same distillery can taste from year to year.

    Expert's Description

    Glenlossie 2009/2022 The Un-Chillfiltered Collection Signatory Vintage 12 Year Old is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky bottled at 46%.

    Distilled on 14 April 2009 and bottled on 6 January 2022 by Signatory Vintage, from two bourbon casks, No. 3378 and 3379, yielding 218 bottles, with no added colour and no chill filtration.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Pale honey, freshly baked shortbread and a fresh lemon note. The bourbon cask gives a clear, but not overwhelming, vanilla sweetness.

    Palate

    Soft and round, with malty sweetness, vanilla and a hint of pear. The lack of filtration gives good body to the relatively gentle 46%.

    Finish

    Medium length, soft and lightly sweet, closing with a hint of honey and cereal.

  • Benrinnes 1996 Signatory 25 year old Speyside Single Malt Whisky bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280004

    Twenty-five winters on the slope of Ben Rinnes leave a mark on a spirit. The heavy, meaty distillate the distillery is known for has had time to settle and spread out. This is a bottle that smells of old warehouses and damp oak floors.

    The expert's description

    Benrinnes 1996/2022 Signatory 25 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in hogsheads and bottled at 53.2 % cask strength.

    Signatory Vintage filled two hogsheads, cask no. 11712 and 11716, on 28 October 1996 and emptied them again on 18 January 2022. The result was 537 bottles for the Cask Strength Collection, the range where Signatory lets the cask speak without water and without filtration. The whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

    Until 2007 Benrinnes ran an unusual partial triple distillation, and the entire production still passes through worm tubs sunk in cold water outside. That gives a spirit with weight and an almost meaty texture — exactly the kind of body that can carry a quarter of a century in oak without tiring.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Old oak, dried apricot and a dry nuttiness reminiscent of walnut shells. Underneath sit honey, a little cinnamon bark and a faint oily note that only comes with age.

    Palate

    Full and warm from the first sip. Malt, dark orange marmalade and caramelised sugar meet a peppery edge from the oak. The 53.2 % pushes, but it is never harsh — a few drops of water open a fruity core of baked apple.

    Finish

    Long and dry with toasted malt, tobacco leaf and a layer of spiced oak that lingers. It ends where many younger whiskies have run out of things to say.

    The distillery sits at the foot of the mountain Ben Rinnes, but the original 1826 site was washed away by a flood only three years later. More than one Benrinnes has stood on that slope.

  • Auchroisk 1996/2022 Signatory 25 year old sherry cask bottle, Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280003

    The cask was filled in 1996 and touched again in 2022. In between, the whisky world went from forgotten to overheated, and Auchroisk got its own name back. The cask simply lay there waiting.

    The Expert's Description

    Auchroisk 1996/2022 Signatory 25 Years Old is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky matured for 25 years in sherry cask no. 2 and bottled at 48.5%. The cask gave 684 bottles, and the whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

    Twenty-five years in a sherry cask is a long time, and the strength of 48.5% tells its own story: a fair amount has evaporated along the way, and what remains is concentrated. Signatory bottles at cask strength without adjustment, so the figure on the label is what the cask gave.

    Auchroisk was built in 1974 to supply malt for the J&B blend, and the distillery’s bright, citrus-driven style takes on an entirely different expression here. The sherry has had a quarter of a century to lay dark fruit and spice over the top.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Dark and deep. Raisins, fig and orange marmalade first, then walnut, dark chocolate and a dry old oak note. A fine leathery note sits at the bottom.

    Palate

    Full and concentrated. Dried fruit and sherry sweetness open, then nuts, cinnamon and a dry spiced oak arrive. At 48.5% there is good weight without sharpness, and twenty-five years of maturation shows in the texture, which is thick and oily.

    Finish

    Long and dry. Dark fruit, nuts and spiced oak that let go slowly and leave a lightly bitter chocolate note.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280002

    Distilled on the same day as its four-year-younger sister, but these casks were left standing. Four extra years in hogsheads sounds like little — in the glass the difference is obvious.

    Expert description

    Dailuaine 1997/2022 Signatory 24 years is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in two hogsheads and bottled at 47.4% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

    The casks are numbered 7227 and 7235, were filled on 21 May 1997 and emptied on 20 January 2022. The outturn was 369 bottles. The release belongs to Signatory's Cask Strength Collection, where the whisky goes into bottle at the strength the cask delivers. Dailuaine is one of those distilleries where almost the entire production disappears into blends, and twenty-four year old bottlings exist essentially only through independent bottlers.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Ripe apples, pears and quince, with vanilla, malt and a mild spiced oak behind.

    Palate

    Silky with well-integrated alcohol. Sweetness and freshness first, then vanilla, malt and spiced oak, in a balanced and elegant mouthfeel.

    Finish

    Dry and harmonious, with the complexity and maturity stepping forward at the close.

    Did you know?

    Quince is a fruit you rarely meet in modern whisky, but it turns up in old Speyside malts from bourbon wood. It sits somewhere between apple and pear, and it is often a sign of a cask that has been allowed to work long and quietly.

  • BenRiach 2000 Signatory 21 years sherry butt Single Speyside Malt Whisky
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280001

    Twenty-one years in a sherry butt and still almost sixty per cent in the bottle. That only happens when the cask was filled high and the warehouse ran cool, and it says something about how little escaped through the wood along the way.

    The expert's description

    BenRiach 2000/2021 Signatory Vintage 21 years Cask Strength Collection is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky matured in a sherry butt, cask no. 6, and bottled at 59.2 % cask strength without chill filtration and without added colour.

    The whisky went into cask on 24 May 2000 and was drawn on 13 August 2021. The cask yielded 685 bottles, which fits a butt of that size, and no water was added. The 59.2 % is the natural strength of the cask after twenty-one years.

    The Cask Strength Collection is the Signatory range for single casks bottled exactly as they come from the warehouse. The series is used for casks the house judges able to carry full strength, and the malted core of BenRiach has the body required.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dark fruit, walnut and orange peel with a deep sherry note. Behind it sit cocoa and old leather.

    Palate

    Very powerful and dense with raisin, fig and spiced oak. The strength bites, but the fruit holds its ground and settles as a layer on top.

    Finish

    Very long and warm with dark chocolate, nut and a dry, spiced close.

    Did you know?

    A sherry butt filled in 2000 would normally have dropped to around 50 per cent after twenty-one years. That this one still sits at 59.2 points to a cool, damp warehouse where water rather than alcohol evaporates fastest.

  • Braeval Signatory Vintage bottle from a sherry butt
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279999

    Twenty-one years in a refill sherry butt does not sound like much on paper. But a used cask works slowly, and when it finally lands, it is the distillery you taste — not the wood.

    Expert description

    Braeval 2000/2021 Signatory Vintage 21 Years is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky from Refill Sherry Butt #6392, bottled at cask strength, 59.2%, with natural colour.

    The whisky was distilled on 16 February 2000 and bottled on 13 August 2021. The cask gave 592 bottles, which fits a butt of around 500 litres, and the whole run comes from the same day's production at Braeval.

    A refill cask has already given most of its sherry character to an earlier filling. The whisky therefore does not turn dark and heavy but keeps Braeval's light, floral style with a quiet sherry note underneath.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Baked apple and heather with a layer of dried apricot, almond and pale oak.

    Palate

    Concentrated and malty with honey, nuts and a fine fruit acidity. The alcohol is high, but the fruit keeps pace.

    Finish

    Long and dry with nuts, grain and a last sweetness from the sherry cask.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279998

    One more year in cask makes a difference you can taste. This 15-year-old is the more mature sister to Signatory's 14-year-old from the same distillate – both from 2006, both powerful, but each with its own character.

    Expert's Description

    Glenlossie 2006/2022 Signatory 15 Year Old is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky bottled at cask strength, 58.2%.

    Distilled on 27 November 2006 and bottled on 18 January 2022 by Signatory under its Cask Strength Collection label, from two bourbon barrels, Cask No. 3293 and 3301, yielding 347 bottles – with no added colour and no chill filtration.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Darker caramel and toasted almonds than its younger sister, with a clear scent of warm oak polish and a hint of dried figs.

    Palate

    Deep and full, with burnt sugar, dark chocolate and a warm, almost peppery spice. The cask's grip on the spirit is more pronounced after the extra year.

    Finish

    Long, dry and faintly bitter, with a lingering note of dark caramel and oak.

  • Blair Athol Signatory Cask Strength bottle with dark sherried whisky
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279996

    Eleven years in a quiet refill hogshead, then almost three more in a sherry butt at the end. It is a cask history where the order matters: the spirit was allowed to be itself first, and the sherry came afterwards.

    Expert description

    Blair Athol 2007/2022 Signatory 14 Years is a Single Highland Malt Whisky from a Refill Hogshead finished for 35 months in a Sherry Butt and bottled at cask strength, 54.3%.

    Signatory Vintage bought the Blair Athol spirit, distilled on 7 September 2007, and bottled it on 19 January 2022 as part of the house's Cask Strength Collection. The run is 670 bottles, which fits a butt, and the whisky is neither chill filtered nor coloured.

    Blair Athol's heavy, nutty spirit is good company for a sherry cask. Thirty-five months is a long finishing period, so the cask has had the chance to reach further into the whisky than a typical six to twelve month finish.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Raisin and dark sugar with walnut, orange peel and a breath of leather.

    Palate

    Full and oily with dried fruit, cinnamon and roasted nuts. The sherry sits heavily, but the malty core of the spirit shines through.

    Finish

    Long and warm with nuts, dark chocolate and a trace of tobacco.

  • Ben Nevis 2013 Signatory Vintage 7 years Single Highland Malt Whisky
    Item no.: 22227865555-99632

    Seven years is young for a Highland malt, and that is exactly why it is interesting. The cask has not taken charge yet, and the raw, oily character of the Ben Nevis spirit still stands and fills the glass on its own.

    Please note: There is rust on the cap of the bottle. It does not affect the contents, but it is worth knowing before you order.

    The expert's description

    Ben Nevis 2013/2021 Signatory Vintage 7 years is a Single Highland Malt Whisky matured in hogsheads, casks no. 414 and 415, and bottled at 46 %.

    The bottling is assembled from two hogsheads that were kept together and drawn as one. That does not make it a single cask, but the outturn is still small, and the two casks were chosen because they pulled in the same direction.

    Signatory Vintage was founded in Edinburgh in 1988 by Andrew Symington and has been based at the Edradour distillery in Pitlochry since 2002. The house is known for bottling young casks where the style of the distillery is still clear, rather than banking on age alone.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh barley, green apple and a lightly oily note. Vanilla and hay sit behind it.

    Palate

    Young and direct with malt, lemon peel and a powerful cereal core. The oak stays discreet and lets the spirit talk.

    Finish

    Medium, dry and malty with a light peppery edge.

    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727950

    Two casks with consecutive numbers, 800999 and 801000, were filled on the same day and emptied on the same day eleven years later. Neighbours the whole way through. They were vatted together into 480 bottles, and it is still single malt.

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

    The Expert's Description

    Ardmore 2010/2021 Signatory Vintage 11 Years Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in bourbon casks 800999 and 801000 and bottled at 46%. It was distilled on 6 May 2010 and bottled on 6 August 2021 in Signatory’s Un-Chillfiltered Collection, giving 480 bottles.

    Vatting two casks rather than bottling them separately is a deliberate choice. You lose the individuality of a single cask but gain a larger, better balanced release where one cask’s quirks get evened out. As long as all the whisky comes from one distillery, the term Single Malt Whisky still applies.

    Here there is no Islay past in the wood and no sherry, only plain bourbon casks. That gives Ardmore’s own peated character and malt sweetness a clear run, and the result is the most straightforward of Signatory’s Ardmore releases in this range.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Vanilla and pale malt first, with dry smoke as a firm undercarriage. There is honey, green apple and a light coconut note from the bourbon wood. Clean and precise with nothing heavy about it.

    Palate

    Malty and soft. Vanilla and baked apple open, then the smoke arrives as a dry earthy note alongside white pepper. At 46% the body is good, and the balance between sweetness and smoke stays even the whole way.

    Finish

    Medium length. Malt, vanilla and a dry ash note that lets go cleanly without bitterness.

    Did You Know?

    Ardmore’s peat comes from the mainland in Aberdeenshire, not from Islay. Mainland peat is formed from heather, moss and wood rather than seaweed and salt water, so it gives a dry, earthy and almost sooty smoke without iodine or tar. It is the same difference you can taste between a Highland and an Islay without seeing the labels.

  • Glen Spey Signatory Vintage 10 year Speyside Single Malt Whisky
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727949

    Bottled exclusively for the Danish market — a Glen Spey that was never meant to stand alone, but which Signatory Vintage chose to give that chance. Ten years in 1st use hogsheads, bottled without filtration and without colouring. Straightforward presentation. Honest whisky.

    Note: Rust may appear on the cap.

    Expert's description

    Glen Spey 2010/2021 Signatory Vintage 10 year is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in 1st use hogsheads, bottled at 46% non-chill filtered exclusively for the Danish market. Glen Spey in Rothes is a distillery that rarely steps forward as a soloist. Founded in 1878 by James Stuart and sold to W. & A. Gilbey in 1887. Today owned by Diageo and primarily a supplier to the J&B blend. The distinctive purifiers on the spirit stills produce a light, floral and delicate spirit.

    Signatory Vintage from Pitlochry is one of Scotland's most respected independent bottlers. Their Un-Chillfiltered Collection sets the standard: always at least 46% ABV, no chill filtration, no added colouring. This bottling was distilled on 16 September 2010 and matured in two 1st use hogsheads (#804786 and #804792), bottled on 31 May 2021. Exclusively for the Danish market.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh lemon zest and light floral tones combined with creamy vanilla and gently spiced oak. A delicate underlying maltiness.

    Palate

    Creamy and lightly oily texture — precisely because chill filtration was omitted. Fresh pears, strawberries and ripe bananas. Liquorice notes emerge. The 46% gives a pleasant bite without overwhelming the fruit.

    Finish

    Long and fruity. Bananas and pears linger slowly with a hint of soft oak.

  • Dalmore 1990 Signatory 17 years sherry butt bottle at cask strength
    Item no.: 505956-689457-8

    Dalmore from an independent bottler is a rare sight. Dalmore from 1990 in a single sherry butt at full cask strength is close to an anomaly.

    Expert description

    Dalmore 1990/2008 Signatory Vintage 17 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 59.2% without added colouring.

    The cask carries the number 9411, was filled on 11 September 1990 and emptied on 25 March 2008. The outturn was 501 bottles. Dalmore sits at Alness on the shore of the Cromarty Firth and is known for its heavy, sherried house style — which is exactly why a single sherry cask suits the spirit so well. The distillery lets very few casks go on to independent bottlers, making this release unusual.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Deep and dark. Raisin, orange peel and dark chocolate, with walnut, leather and a warm spiced note from the wood.

    Palate

    Massive and concentrated. Dried fruit, cocoa and caramelised sugar, with a peppery warmth from the strength and a dry sherry edge keeping the sweetness in check.

    Finish

    Very long and dry, with nuts, dark fruit and a persistent spiced warmth.

    Investment potential

    High. Independent Dalmore bottlings are scarce, the vintage is 1990, and an outturn of 501 bottles from one sherry cask cannot be repeated.

    Did you know?

    Dalmore's motto Luceo non uro means shine, not burn. It comes from the Clan Mackenzie coat of arms and has followed the distillery since the family took it over in the nineteenth century — even after the whisky had long since changed owners.

  • Clynelish 1992 Signatory Vintage single cask bottle from the Highlands
    Item no.: 505956-759824-24

    The cask was filled in May 1992 and emptied again in May 2004 — almost to the day twelve years later. Signatory has a fondness for that kind of precision, and it rubs off on the whisky.

    Please note: The bottle is supplied without a carton.

    Expert description

    Clynelish 1992/2004 Signatory Vintage 12 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a hogshead and bottled at 46% without added colouring.

    The cask carries the number 6304 and gave 395 bottles. Signatory Vintage was founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington and is among the most prolific independent bottlers in Scotland; the house also owns Edradour today. A twelve year old Clynelish from bourbon wood shows the distillery's waxy core with little cask interference, and releases from the early 1990s are becoming hard to find.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Clean and cool. Lemon peel, green apple and wet stone, with wax and a light saline note behind.

    Palate

    Crisp and malty. Apple, honey, cereal and that oily Clynelish texture, with pepper and a touch of liquorice towards the end.

    Finish

    Medium and dry, with mineral, citrus and a waxy finish that sits around for a long time.

    Signatory is known for printing both the cask number and the exact distillation and bottling dates on the label. It looks like a technicality, but it makes the bottles traceable, and it is one reason collectors keep a particularly close eye on this house.

  • Braes of Glenlivet Signatory Vintage bottle in classic dumpy design
    Item no.: 505956-807534-795

    Some distilleries never become household names on the shelf. They work quietly, supply malt for other people's blends, and only rarely let a single bottle out on its own. Braes of Glenlivet is one of them.

    Expert Description

    Braes of Glenlivet 1979/1995 Signatory Vintage 15 Year Old is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in sherry casks and bottled at 43%.

    The whisky comes from the Braes of Glenlivet distillery, today known as Braeval, rarely seen bottled as a single malt since most of its production traditionally goes into blends. This release was distilled on 6 June 1979 and bottled by the independent bottler Signatory Vintage in May 1995 from two sherry casks (cask no. 16042 and 16043), after 15 years of maturation. Only 1,200 bottles were released in Signatory Vintage's classic dumpy bottle, making it a sought-after collector's item from a distillery rarely seen in this form.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Dark amber with a reddish tint, and an aroma of roasted nuts, dark berries, raisins, leather and old orange peel, in a complex and harmonious sherry nose with a hint of tobacco and herbs.

    Palate

    Soft and full with dates, raisins, old oak and black pepper, carried by leather, a light sulphur note, tobacco, menthol and a touch of liquorice.

    Finish

    Long and warm with dark fruit and a lingering sherry character.

    Investment Potential

    High. Braes of Glenlivet, today Braeval, is very rarely bottled as a single malt, and a vintage bottling from 1979 with only 1,200 bottles is exactly the kind of release that rises sharply in demand among collectors of closed or rarely seen distilleries.

    Did You Know?

    Braes of Glenlivet officially changed its name to Braeval in 1994, precisely to avoid confusion with The Glenlivet, yet bottles like this one, released before the name change had fully taken hold, still carry the original name.

  • Bottle of Glenlossie Signatory Vintage Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
    Item no.: 22227865391-8846-22

    For almost four decades, Signatory Vintage has made a living finding the casks the big names never wanted to bottle themselves. This 2006 Glenlossie is another reason enthusiasts keep an eye on their releases.

    Expert's Description

    Glenlossie 2006/2020 Signatory Vintage 13 Year Old is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at cask strength, 58.5%.

    Distilled on 27 November 2006 and bottled on 9 March 2020 by the independent bottler Signatory Vintage, one of Scotland's oldest and most prolific bottlers, this whisky comes from two bourbon casks, No. 3303 and 3304, yielding a small outturn of 335 bottles.

    Signatory sources casks from distilleries across Scotland and bottles them under its own name – often from distilleries like Glenlossie, which rarely turns up as a standalone single malt elsewhere.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fresh barley malt and vanilla custard meet a lightly tart fruitiness, like citrus peel. The bourbon cask lends a clear sweetness without taking over.

    Palate

    Powerful and warm, with caramelised sugar, ripe pear and a peppery spice from the high strength. The malt stays clear throughout.

    Finish

    Long, dry and lightly spiced, with a lingering note of vanilla foam and a touch of oak.

  • Deanston 2007 Signatory 13 years first fill sherry butt bottle
    Item no.: 22227865391-8846-21

    Deanston is known for pale honey and bourbon wood. Put the spirit in a first fill sherry cask for thirteen years and the house becomes almost unrecognisable.

    Expert description

    Deanston 2007/2021 Signatory Vintage 13 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a first fill sherry butt and bottled at cask strength of 64.5% without added colouring.

    The cask carries the number 900146, was filled on 14 June 2007 and emptied on 12 March 2021. The outturn was 624 bottles. Signatory Vintage was founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington and buys casks from distilleries across Scotland. Deanston rarely sells casks on, so an actively sherried version like this exists essentially only through independent bottlers.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Dark and concentrated. Raisin, fig and orange peel, with cocoa, walnut and a warm spiced note from the wood.

    Palate

    Massive but round. Dried fruit, dark chocolate and caramelised sugar, with Deanston's honey beneath the sherry and a peppery warmth from the strength.

    Finish

    Very long and dry, with nuts, dark fruit and a persistent spiced warmth.

    Deanston's own range is almost exclusively bourbon matured. That makes the independent sherry bottlings the only place to taste what the house spirit does in dark wood — and they are therefore in more demand than the bottle count alone would explain.

About Signatory Vintage Whisky

Signatory Vintage is one of Scotland's most prolific independent bottlers, a name any Single Cask Whisky browser will know well. The company bottles from a huge range of Scottish distilleries, from familiar Speyside names to rare, silent stills, always without chill filtration and without added colouring, so you get the distillery's raw, honest character in the glass. For collectors, it's the rare closed distilleries and high age statements that make Signatory worth chasing, while beginners can use the broad portfolio as a shortcut to tasting across Scotland's regions without buying a full bottle from every distillery.

History & background

Signatory Vintage was founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington, then a young whisky enthusiast convinced that whisky should be bottled in its most natural form. The big turning point came in 2002, when Symington bought Edradour, Scotland's smallest distillery, giving the company its own home in the heart of Perthshire. Since then the firm has grown steadily, and today Signatory holds one of the largest cask inventories among independent bottlers, built up over decades of buying casks directly from distilleries.

Production & style

Since Signatory only distils at Edradour itself, the house style is really about selection rather than production: casks from across Scotland are chosen individually for flavour and potential, matured further in Signatory's own warehouses, and typically bottled without chill filtration or added colour. Many releases come at Cask Strength, so you get the whisky exactly as it left the cask.

Signature style

Pure, Cask-driven, Versatile
From smoky Islay character to soft sherry sweetness, flavour depends entirely on the individual cask, but the range shares a clear, undisturbed distillery character.

When Andrew Symington bought Edradour in 2002, he suddenly had access to one of Scotland's oldest continuously operating warehouses, and some of the casks Signatory bottles today have in fact been resting there since long before the acquisition.
