Cuvée presentation

Small batch de Caol Ila distillé en 1989 et embouteillé en 1999. Andrew Symington, fondateur de Signatory Vintage, commence son activité dans le whisky en sélectionnant des fûts pour le Prestonfield House Hotel à Edimbourg. C’est ainsi que débute l’aventure d’Andrew Symington dans le whisky et qu’il lance par la suite Signatory Vintage en 1988. Ce dernier investit dans une petite chaîne d’embouteillage qu’il installe au sein de ses chais à Edimbourg. Il commence par embouteiller au degré naturel, sans filtration à froid et sans colorant, ce qui était encore des méthodes peu courantes à la fin des années 1980. La mythique série des « Dumpy bottle » affichait notamment des informations qui, jusque-là, n’étaient pas divulguées par les embouteilleurs comme le numéro du fût, le type de fût, le nombre de bouteilles… Les numéros de bouteilles étaient également inscrits à la main. Signatory Vintage s’est forgé une grande réputation en vendant non seulement des whiskies mythiques provenant de distilleries légendaires (Springbank, Ardbeg, Laphroaig ou Bowmore) mais également en réalisant des embouteillages issus de distilleries extrêmement rares comme Ben Wyvis, Glen Flagler ou Killyloch. Sans oublier les nombreuses versions distillées dans les alambics Lomond de Miltonduff (Mosstowie), Glen Keith (Craigduff, Glenisla) ou Glenburgie (Glencraig). Enfin, en 2002, Andrew Symington fait l'acquisition de la distillerie Edradour, à Pitlochry dans les Highlands. Il y relocalise aussi Signatory Vintage dont les chais font face à la distillerie. Édition limitée à 930 bouteilles.

The distillery Caol Ila

Scotland, Isle of Islay. Distillery operational. Owner: Diageo

Fully modernized between 1972 and 1974, Caol Ila escaped the wave of closures sweeping through the Scotch whisky industry in the early 1980s. A key component in numerous blends, including Johnnie Walker, Bulloch Lade and Black Bottle, Caol Ila remained for a long time overshadowed by its illustrious sister Lagavulin. Up until the late 1980s, its malt was available in 12 and 15 year old versions bottled by Bulloch Lade & Co. In the early 1990s, United Distilleries launched two ranges showcasing all of its distilleries, The Rare Malts Selection and Flora & Fauna. Four versions of Caol Ila would be bottled first (vintage and cask strength limited editions), followed by a 43% 14 year old. Note that a 1983 cask strength in the very short-lived Fauna & Flora Cask Strength range and, more importantly, a classic 15 year old sherry cask - The Manager's Dram - were also released. In order to relieve Lagavulin of the pressure on its stocks in the early 2000s, Caol Ila was officially released on the market in 2002 in the Hidden Malt range, alongside three versions of its malt, a no-age-statement cask strength (55%), a 12 year old, and an 18 year old, followed by a 1978 25 year old in 2004.
