Clynelish 1996 Signatory Vintage 21 Year Old / TWE Whisky Show

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 52%

Signatory Vintage were established in 1988 by Andrew Symington and are one of Scotland's most prolific independent bottlers. Their offices and bottling facility are located next to Edradour distillery, which they have also owned since 2002.

Part of the Un-Chillfiltered Collection, this was matured in refill butt #11390. A Clynelish, it was distilled on 11th December 1996 and bottled on 20th August 2018 for The Whisky Exchange. One of 517 bottles exclusively available at The Whisky Show in 2018.

Clynelish distillery as it is recognised today, was built in 1967 to replace the smaller distillery next-door, which was the original site of that name. The first distillery was closed, but later re-opened, changing its name to Brora (but that’s another story). Clynelish is part of the Diageo stable, having been taken over by DCL in 1912. Despite being an important part of the Johnnie Walker blends, it has long been bottled as a single malt.
