Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Edition SPEYSIDE (M) 18 Years Old Single Malt #17 2008 57.1% vol. 0.7 l online kaufen

The Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Exceptional Edition Speyside (M) 18 Years Old #17 is an exceptionally matured Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2026 after 18 years’ maturation. The designation ‘Speyside (M)’ deliberately keeps the exact distillery in the background, whilst the age, provenance and cask selection clearly define the character of this bottling. For the maturation, Signatory Vintage relied on first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, whose intense influence lends the single malt a distinctive combination of dark fruits, sherry and spicy oak. This bottling is part of the 100 Proof Exceptional Edition #17, within which Signatory presents particularly well-matured and characterful whiskies at the traditional strength of 100 British Proof.

After almost two decades of cask maturation, the Speyside (M) 2008/2026 is bottled at a robust 57.1% ABV. Signatory Vintage consistently avoids chill filtration and colouring, ensuring that the natural character of the cask is preserved as authentically as possible. The whisky is not smoky, which allows the influence of the first-fill Oloroso sherry butts to come to the fore particularly clearly. Signatory Vintage combines a long maturation period with a high ABV and transparent disclosure of key production data. The combination of 18 years’ maturation, the 2008 vintage, first-fill Oloroso sherry butts and 57.1% makes this 0.7-litre bottling particularly appealing to connoisseurs of long-matured, intensely sherry-influenced Speyside single malts.

Tasting Note

Colour: Honey-coloured with warm golden highlights.

Nose: Ripe figs and juicy orange, accompanied by intense Oloroso sherry and a subtle hint of dark chocolate.

Palate: Full-bodied and powerful with dried dates and figs, spicy oak, slightly bitter chocolate and complex sherry notes.

Finish: Long-lasting and multi-layered with black tea and a subtle sweetness of brown sugar.

The Signatory Vintage Speyside (M) 18 Years Old Exceptional Edition #17 is best enjoyed neat at room temperature; however, at 57.1 per cent, a few drops of still water can further open up the intense sherry aromas. Dark chocolate, dried figs and dates, caramelised nuts or mature hard cheese pair particularly well with its robust character. A dessert featuring dark chocolate and orange also echoes key elements of the whisky. Thanks to its long 18-year maturation in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, this bottling is particularly well-suited to discerning tastings and special occasions.
