Signatory Vintage are an independent bottler founded in 1988 by Andrew and Brian Symington. The name ‘Signatory’ was derived from the initial intention to find a person of suitable standing to sign the labels for bottles drawn from a single cask. The first cask bottled was a 1968 Glenlivet which quickly sold through long before any suitable signee could be found. Signatory currently bottle at three strengths: 43%, 46% Unchillfiltered (UCF) and Cask Strength.To add proof of authenticity to their cask strength bottlings, Signatory always include the cask numbers, date of distillation, date of bottling and number of bottles produced.Signatory Vintage’s aim is to offer as wide a range of whiskies as possible, some of which are not even bottled by the proprietary distillery. This allows malt enthusiast to sample the huge variety of subtle differences which occur between casks.

The Braeval Distillery sits in high pasture land, remote and sheltered. Because of this, illicit stills were common in the area for many years. The distillery was formerly known as Braes of Glenlivet and changed to Braeval in 1994. Did you also know that Braeval is Scotland highest distillery!

This single malt whisky was distilled in 2000 at the Braeval distillery in the Scottish Speyside whisky region. It was matured solely in a refill Oloroso Sherry Butt and in 2023 was bottled at 60.4% alc/vol as part of the Signatory Vintage cask strength range. This whisky has no added colouring and was limited to 603 bottles.
