Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#2108) Strathmill distilled in 1996, aged in a hogshead and bottled in 2022 by Signatory Vintage. The founder of Signatory Vintage, Andrew Symington, began working in whisky by selecting casks for the Prestonfield House Hotel in Edinburgh. He subsequently founded Signatory Vintage in 1988, where he invested in a small bottling chain within his cellars in Edinburgh. He started bottling at cask strength without cold filtering or colouring, which was uncommon for the late 1980s. The legendary Dumpy Bottle series listed information that up until that point had never been shared by bottlers, such as the cask number and the type of cask. The number of bottles was also included, written by hand. Signatory Vintage carved a reputation for themselves by not only selling legendary whiskies from iconic distilleries like Springbank, Ardbeg, Laphroaig and Bowmore, but also by bottling whiskies from extremely rare distilleries like Ben Wyvis, Glen Flagler and Killyloch. Additionally, they also bottled numerous versions distilled in Lomond stills from Miltonduff (Mosstowie), Glen Keith (Craigduff, Glenisla) and Glenburgie (Glencraig). In 2002 Symington acquired the Edradour distillery in Pitlochry in the Highlands. He relocated Signatory Vintage and installed the cellars across from the distillery. A limited edition of 193 bottles.

The distillery Strathmill

Strathmill was founded in 1892 under the name Glenisla-Glenlivet. It took its current name three years later when it was bought by W&A Gilbey, which would become International Distillers and Vintners (IDV) in 1962. Strathmill became a key component of the group’‘s flagship blend Justerini & Brooks (J&B). Now owned by Diageo, the distillery continues to be used for this purpose. For this reason, few official bottlings exist, save for a Flora & Fauna, a Special Release and a Manager’‘s Dram. Expressions of the single malt are more commonly found as independent bottlings.
