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

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.
