Description
The Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Edition Orkney (Highland Park) 14 Years Old Single Malt is an exceptional cask strength bottling from the renowned range of independent bottler Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky. Distilled in 2011 and matured for 14 years, it represents the distinctive style of the legendary An Orkney distillery Highland Park, which is recognised for its balance of smooth smoke, spice and fruity depth.
This whisky gets its special profile from a finish in first fill amontillado hogsheads, which gives it additional complexity, an elegant dryness and intense nutty and fruity flavours. Bottled at cask strength at a powerful 57.1% vol., it is unadulterated and full of intensity. It is also natural, as it has been bottled without chill-filtration and without colouring, which emphasises its authenticity and quality. This bottling is aimed at lovers of unique single malt whiskies who appreciate a special combination of maritime notes, sherry cask influences and cask strength.

It is also the perfect accompaniment to sweet dishes such as almond cake or dark chocolate. As the highlight of a whisky tasting, this bottling is a must for collectors and connoisseurs looking for special cask maturations.
