Thirty-five years in a refill butt. A whisky distilled before Signatory Vintage even existed, bottled to celebrate the company's 30 years as an independent bottler.
Expert description
Teaninich 1983/2018 is a 35-year-old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, distilled on 7 December 1983 and bottled on 12 December 2018 by Signatory Vintage at 57.5% ABV.
The whisky comes from a refill butt, cask no. 8070, and was bottled in just 575 bottles as part of Signatory Vintage's 30th anniversary celebrations. It is neither chill-filtered nor coloured, and the many years of maturation in the reused cask have given the spirit great depth without letting oak dominate.
At 35 years old, this Teaninich ranks among the rarest releases from the distillery, where most official bottlings are typically far younger.
Tasting notes
Nose
Ripe tropical fruit, beeswax and a delicate hint of old oak.
Palate
Silky smooth, with notes of honey, dried apricot and a light spiced warmth.
Finish
Long and elegant, with lingering sweetness and a touch of sandalwood.
