The wine

An 18 year old single cask hogshead Allt-a-Bhaine distilled in 1980 and bottled in 1999 by Signatory Vintage for La Maison du Whisky. Signatory Vintage was founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington, who previously worked at Prestonfield House, Edinburgh, where he would select casks specially for the hotel. In 2002, he bought the Edradour distillery in Pitlochry, in the Highlands of Scotland and moved Signatory Vintage vintage to the site, including the warehouses opposite the distillery. A limited edition of 380 bottles.

About the Producer Allt-a-Bhainne

The Allt-a-Bhainne distillery was built by Seagram in Speyside in 1975. The distillery is fully computerized and designed to be operated by just one person, producing a light whisky for the group’‘s blends. It was bought by Pernod Ricard in 2001 and closed briefly in 2003 before reopening two years later. Unsurprisingly, few official editions of Allt-A-Bhainne exist. A handful of independent bottlings can nonetheless be found.
