Cuvée presentation

A small batch of Glen Scotia distilled in 1991, aged in bourbon casks and bottled in 2001 by Signatory Vintage. 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 722 bottles.

The distillery Glen Scotia

Scotland, Campbeltown, Mull of Kintyre. Distillery operational. Owner: Loch Lomond Group

It is almost a miracle that Glen Scotia survived the crises of the 20th century and the periods of restructuring that were to hit the Scotch whisky industry. And yet, along with Springbank, it was for a long time one of only two survivors of the long and inexorable decline of Campbeltown, once a veritable whisky metropolis. Glen Scotia boasts a handful of bottlings, all now extremely rare, dating from the 60s and 70s and aged between 5 and 12 years old.From the late 1980s, its bottlings were similar to those of Littlemill, as the distilleries both belonged to the same owners. Since 2015, the Loch Lomond group has completely redefined the distillery's range and released a plethora of exclusive bottlings.
