Product description
Signatory Vintage, founded in 1988 by Andrew and Brian Symington, is a leading independent publisher and distributor of whisky.
Few people remember that Symington started with just £100,000 and nearly went bankrupt several times in the first five years of their business. The name “Signatory” means Signatory and Symington originally intended to hire someone famous to sign each release. The first cask of whisky bottled by Signatory was Glenlivet 1968, but before the company found the right signatory, there was no trace of the whisky. The whisky presented here, distilled at an undisclosed distillery in Speyside on 1 April 2009, spent 13 years in a refill sherry butt (no. DRU 17/A195 #44) and was bottled on 20 June 2022, in The Un-chillfiltered Collection.
Aroma : delicate notes of sherry, raisins and sultanas, plums, cherries, toffee, golden syrup, honey, nougat, notes of cinnamon, cloves and oak.
Palate : honeyed breakfast cereal, raisins, vanilla, toffee, sugared nuts, buttered croissant, a touch of nutmeg, cinnamon and oak.
Finish : medium long, with notes of honey, fruit candy, nuts, cinnamon, candied ginger and oak.
