Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#301445) of Kinclaith, distilled in 1969, matured in a hogshead and bottled in 2009 by Signatory Vintage. 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 217 bottles.

The distillery Kinclaith

The Scottish distillery, Kinclaith, is renowned across the globe for creating unique, fragranced and delicious whiskies. It is unique in that its spirits are made using water from Loch Katrine, a majestic lake covering more than 1,200 hectares. Making the spirits requires the company to follow a meticulous production process that demands passion and rigour. The barley is firstly moistened and then dried before being ground to form a fine white flour. Adding water and yeast to the powder allows the fermentation process to begin, transforming the sugars into alcohol. The blend is then distilled using a still which collects the transparent, pure alcohol, already very aromatic and with a high alcohol content. Finally, the brandies are aged in wooden casks for several years, with the aim of rounding out their gourmet aromas while developing their charming amber colour.
