Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Extremely elegant and rich, with an immediate wave of dark dried fruits like figs, prunes, and raisins. Underlying notes of old leather, polished oak, and a hint of tobacco mingle with sweeter nuances of dark chocolate, treacle, and a touch of roasted nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts). Subtle hints of orange marmalade and cinnamon spice emerge, alongside a gentle earthiness.

Palate: A truly full-bodied and complex experience. The initial richness of the Oloroso sherry is prominent, delivering deep fruit cake and plum pudding flavours. This is beautifully balanced by drier notes of tobacco, spiced oak, and dark cocoa powder. A subtle nutty character persists, with hints of candied ginger and a touch of black pepper. The cask strength ensures a powerful yet remarkably smooth and coating mouthfeel.

Finish: Long, lingering, and exceptionally satisfying. The rich sherry influence slowly fades, leaving behind echoes of dark fruits, toasted oak, and a pleasing dryness. Notes of coffee grounds, tobacco leaf, and a gentle spice endure, inviting another sip.

The Independent Bottler

Signatory Vintage is one of Scotland’s most respected independent bottlers, celebrated for its unwavering commitment to quality and transparency. Established in 1988 by brothers Andrew and Brian Symington, Signatory Vintage quickly carved a niche by offering single cask, un-chillfiltered, and natural colour whiskies – practices that were far less common at the time but are now widely revered by connoisseurs. Their name, “Signatory,” stems from their original intention to have famous personalities sign the labels of their special bottlings, a unique concept that unfortunately proved impractical but left a lasting legacy in their brand name. Over the decades, Signatory Vintage has amassed an astonishing collection of casks from distilleries across Scotland, including many silent stills. This extensive inventory allows them to release an incredibly diverse range of whiskies, from youthful and vibrant expressions to incredibly rare and aged treasures. Each bottle is a testament to the individual character of the distillery and the unique journey of the liquid within its cask.
