16 year old Speyside cask, strength of 59.8%, natural light colour. A small bottling of 512 matured in a sherry cask.

Glen Elgin Distillery nestles quietly in the heart of Speyside. Situated approximately 3 miles south of Elgin on the road to Rothes, it was the last distillery to be built during the boom years of the 1890s. The architect, Charles Doig, stated it would be the last one built in Speyside for 50 years. His prediction was remarkably accurate with Tormore being the next distillery built, in 1958.


The Glen Elgin 16 year old has a positive, aromatic and a whiff of smoke, with notes of almonds, or marzipan on a light sweet finish.

Glen Elgin 1991 Cask Strength

Highland, 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.

Geographically, the Highland region of malt whiskies embraces Scotland's most northerly mainland distillery of Pulteney, in the Caithness port of Wick, and its most westerly in the shape of Oban. Interestingly, although so far apart, these two whiskies share similar characteristics, in that both are comparatively dry, with a whiff of sea salt about them.

Some of the leading - though incredibly diverse - Highland single malts are the complex Clynelish spirit from the east coast of Sutherland, Dalwhinnie, Royal Lochnagar, Glengoyne, Aberfeldy and Edradour. Edradour has long prided itself on being Scotland's smallest distillery, and is situated near the popular Perthshire holiday town of Pitlochry
