Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#4687) Bowmore distilled in 1970, aged in a Sherry cask and bottled in 2006 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, the type of cask, and the number of bottles, which was 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 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 445 bottles.

The distillery Bowmore

Scotland, Isle of Islay. Distillery operational. Owner: Beam - Suntory

Located on the Isle of Islay, in the heart of the village of the same name, in 1963 Bowmore became, under the aegis of Stanley P. Morrison (owner of the distillery until it was bought by the Japanese company Suntory in 1994), one of the greatest commercial successes in the Scotch whisky industry. Vault #1, responsible for some of its greatest releases, including Bowmore 30 Year Old 1963 and Bowmore Bicentenary, played an important role in forging its international reputation. Built below sea level against a natural dyke, its walls and beaten earth floors are constantly steeped in sea spray. Rooted in tradition, Bowmore is one of the last remaining distilleries to malt part of its own barley on-site. Whether matured in bourbon casks (White Bowmore 1964) or sherry casks (Black Bowmore 1964), its spirit, characterized by notes of liquorice, peat and eucalyptus, never fails to reveal the trademark hint of exotic fruit for which the distillery is known.
