Description

Signatory Vintage was founded by Andrew Symington in 1999. After discovering single cask single malt whisky while managing Prestonfield House Hotel, Andrew bought his first cask, a Glenlivet 1968, and is now one of the largest independent bottlers in Scotland. As of 2002, Signatory Vintage Whisky company is also the owner of the Edradour distillery. Imperial Distillery was designed by Charles C. Doig and established in 1897. It was equipped with four huge stills but closed in 1998 and was demolished in 2013. This bottling by independent bottler Signatory Vintage is part of their Cask Strength Collection.
