Cuvée presentation

An Edradour single cask distilled in 1999, matured in a Sauternes and bottled in 2012. Signatory Vintage’s founder Andrew Symington first joined the whisky industry when he began selecting casks for Prestonfield House Hotel in Edinburgh. In 1988, the adventure continued when he founded Signatory Vintage, investing in a small bottling chain set up in his warehouses in Edinburgh. He began releasing editions bottled at cask strength without chillfiltration or colouring, practices that were still rare in the late 1980s. The legendary series of “Dumpy bottles” notably included information previously seldom seen on labels, such as the cask number, cask type and number of bottles. The bottle number was also written by hand. Signatory Vintage developed a strong reputation by selling not only iconic whiskies from well-known distilleries (Springbank, Ardbeg, Laphroaig and Bowmore) but also bottlings from very rare distilleries such as Ben Wyvis, Glen Flagler and Killyloch, and of course the many versions distilled in the Lomond stills of Miltonduff (Mosstowie), Glen Keith (Craigduff, Glenisla) and Glenburgie (Glencraig). Finally, in 2002, Andrew Symington bought the Edradour distillery in Pitlochry, in the Highlands of Scotland. Signatory Vintage was moved to the site, along with its warehouses, which face the distillery. A limited edition of 432 bottles.

The distillery Edradour

Scotland, Southern Highlands. Distillery operational. Owner: Signatory Vintage & Co

After 70 years in the hands of American (J.G. Turney & Sons) and French (Pernod Ricard) owners, Scotland's smallest distillery reclaimed its independence and became 100% Scottish once again on 22 July 2002. Until this point, its entire production was absorbed by the group's blends, Clan Campbell, House of Lord and King Ransom. A 10 year old version was nonetheless released in 1986. Things remained this way until 2002 when, like many distilleries enjoying rediscovered independence and under the aegis of Andrew Symington (owner of Signatory Vintage), Edradour underwent an incredible transformation that enabled it to reveal the complexity of its profile. Coming under the watchful eye of the former manager of Laphroaig, Ian Henderson, who for was for a time Edradour's master distiller, peat became second nature and the distillery began producing a second malt named Ballechin.
