Nestled in the rugged landscape of the Scottish Highlands, Ardmore Distillery stands as a bastion of traditional Scotch whisky. Established in 1898 by William Teacher, Ardmore has been crafting exceptional peated single malt whiskies for over a century, preserving the essence of a bygone era in whisky production.

At Ardmore, the commitment to traditional methods is paramount. The distillery is one of the few that still uses traditional wooden washbacks and direct-fired stills, a rarity in modern whisky making. This time-honored approach, combined with the use of local peat, imparts a distinct smokiness to Ardmore's whiskies, a characteristic cherished by peat aficionados.

The distillery's location near the Grampian Mountains contributes to the unique profile of its whiskies. The soft, peat-infused water from the Knockandy Hill and the rich, local barley give Ardmore's expressions a robust and full-bodied flavor, marked by notes of honey, spice, and the unmistakable Highland peat smoke.

Ardmore's core range, including the Ardmore Legacy and the Ardmore Traditional Cask, showcases the distillery's mastery in balancing peat with the complexity of Highland whisky. Each bottle from Ardmore is not just a whisky; it's a piece of Scottish heritage, offering a window into the soul of Highland whisky craftsmanship.

Discover the legacy of Ardmore, where each dram is a tribute to the enduring allure of peated Highland whisky, appealing to both long-time enthusiasts and newcomers to the world of Scotch.

Signatory Vintage, based in Perthshire, Scotland, is a leading independent bottler known since its founding in 1988 by Andrew Symington for its exquisite and rare Scottish whiskies. With access to approximately 35,000 casks, Signatory offers an impressive range of Single Malt Scotch Whiskies that highlight the unique properties of each individual cask.

Diverse Premium Quality Offerings

The Signatory Vintage product range includes regular bottlings at 43% alcohol content, a cask strength series, and a non-chill-filtered series. Each of these series is appreciated for their purity and authenticity, as they forego artificial colorants and chill filtration. These practices help preserve the natural taste and color of the whisky, which is particularly popular among connoisseurs.

Preservers of History

A special aspect of Signatory Vintage is their commitment to preserving whiskies from closed distilleries. These bottlings offer enthusiasts the rare opportunity to taste whiskies from a bygone era of whisky production. The acquisition of the Edradour Distillery in 2002 marked another milestone for Signatory Vintage, as they now also oversee the distillation process themselves, thus gaining greater control over production.

Exclusive Bottlings and Collectibles

Among the notable releases are the Cask Strength Collection, which offers whiskies at cask strength, and the Silent Stills series, which includes the last available quantities from no longer existing distilleries. These series are particularly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs looking for extraordinary and limited editions.
