Cuvée presentation

A small batch (#147 and #148) of Longrow distilled in 1987 and bottled in 1996. 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 830 bottles.

The distillery Longrow(Springbank)

Scotland, Campbeltown – Mull of Kintyre. Original distillery closed. Owner: J&A Mitchell & Co Ltd.

Before becoming the second single malt distilled at Springbank, Longrow had its own distillery, the ruins of which can be found near Springbank's car park and bottling plant. Longrow was awarded a distillation license in 1824 but closed in 1896. In 1973, the Mitchells, descendants of a long dynasty of Campbeltown distillers, began distilling a heavily peated malt at Springbank (55 ppm). Longrow rose from its ashes and became Springbank's peated alter ego. Its production, however, was sporadic. No trace remains from the period 1975-1986. Records begin again in 1987 with a handful of bottlings for independent bottlers such as Signatory Vintage. During the same period, its owners bottled the first two years of the distillery's distillation, 1973 and 1974. These editions became an immediate hit among collectors and fans of peated whiskies.
