From one of Speyside’s best-known sherried distilleries, this 14-year-old single malt arrives with plenty of intrigue, with Signatory keeping the source firmly under wraps. This release is finished in 1st Fill Pedro Ximénez butts, offering a point of difference from previous Oloroso releases. It delivers the rich, elegant character sherry cask fans look for, backed by a generous age statement. Bottled without chill filtration and with natural colour, this is a polished and rewarding dram with no shortage of mystery.
Available in a 700ml bottle, at 48.2% abv.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Stewed prunes and sticky toffee pudding lead the way, followed by walnut loaf, soft cinnamon spice, and a gentle note of old leather-bound books.
TASTE
Rich and syrupy in texture, delivering black cherries, spiced orange peel, and dark chocolate, with a subtle balsamic tang. Hints of earthy tobacco and roasted nuts add depth.
FINISH
Long and warming, with treacle, dark roasted coffee, and a lingering touch of clove spice.
