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.

Another secret speyside release from the lads and lassies at Signatory Vintage. This 11 year old whisky was distilled at the ‘TAM’ distillery, and spent some time in red wine casks from the Bolgheri region in Italy, famous for their premium wines largely made from grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It was bottled at 48.2% alc/vol as part of the Signatory Vintage small batch series. No added colouring or chill-filtration.
