Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#2201) of Linlithgow, distilled in 1982 and bottled in 2008. 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 388 bottles.

The distillery Linlithgow

Linlithgow (Lowlands) was at one time home to five distilleries, including St Magdalene, which was built in the mid-18th century by Sebastian Henderson. It was bought by Adam Dawson in 1798. In 1912, as the family business A&J Dawson struggled to keep up with the competition and the market’‘s decline, it was liquidated and St Magdalene sold to Distillers Company Limited, which, two years later, joined Scottish Malt Distillers, alongside Rosebank. Like so many other distilleries, it closed in 1983, at the height of the Whisky Loch overproduction crisis that hit the industry in the 1980s. Bottlings of St Magdalene are not easy to come by and are found in Diageo’‘s Special Release and Rare Malts selections, as well as from independent bottlers, often under the name Linlithgow.
