Cuvée presentation

A small batch of Glen Elgin distilled in 1990, aged in bourbon barrels and bottled in 2016. 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 295 bottles.

The distillery Glen Elgin

The Glen Elgin distillery is located in Fogwatt, Speyside. Built in 1898 by bankers William Simpson and James Carle, it began production in 1900, in the wake of the Pattison Crisis. It closed twice before being sold in 1906 to JJ Blanche & Co, a wine producer. Via the subsidiary Scottish Malt Distillers (SMD), it joined the Distillers Company Limited (DCL) portfolio, who gave the license to White Horse. Unsurprisingly, Glen Elgin played a key role in the eponymous blend. Rare official versions do exist, such as a 12 year old from the 1980s, another released in 2001 for the Flora and Fauna range, and The Manager’‘s Dram 16 Years, but overall Glen Elgin remains the privilege of blends and independent bottlers.
