Lowlands, Scotland
The Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky company is an independent scotch whisky bottler who started fifteen years ago with the purchase of a single barrel. From humble beginnings they have gone from from strength to strength, bottling some of the finest whisky in Scotland. Specialising in single barrel bottling from refined malt whisky producers they concentrate on individuality of flavour, finesse and quality.
The recent purchase of Edradour adds to their portfolio of quality and individual whisky. Edradour is Scotland's smallest distillery nestled in a pocket glen in the hills above Pitlochry producing only 12 casks of the 10 year old a week. Obviously this means that there is limited quantity and each of their bottles are numbered and dated.
The region embraces the mainland of Scotland south of the Central Belt (a line drawn between the Forth and Loch Lomond). There was a time, in the 1850s, when every town of any size in the Lowlands had its distillery, to supply the English market as well as local demands. For the style of Lowland whisky is much lighter than Highland, with little or no peating, and this had much broader appeal. By the 1880s almost the entire production of the Lowland distilleries went for blending: today, it is possible (and more cost effective) to create Highland malts with a light character to suit the requirements of blenders.
Lowlands typically have a dry finish, which makes them excellent aperitifs. The dryness comes from the malt itself, not from peat (Lowlands tend to use unpeated malt), and this also lends a certain sweet fruitiness to the flavour and mouthfeel. Their aromatic intensity is low, and tends to be grassy or herbal, with grainy and floral notes. It used to be said that they leant a brandy-like flavour to a blended whisky
