Craigduff 1973/2005 Signatory Cask strength Coll. 53.9% vol. 0,7l

Signatory
The independent bottler Signatory was founded in 1988 by the brothers Symington in Edinburgh.
At the beginning of their history, the brothers did not yet have the necessary influence in the whiskey industry, so the two often had to put up with barrels that spurned by the large, renowned independent bottlers such as Gordon & MacPhail or Ian MacLeod due to low editions or even lower quality were.
This is now the past and from the small, insignificant bottler has become a renowned, acclaimed producer, who often comes up with rare and coveted bottlings.
Since 2002, the smallest distillery in Scotland - Edradour - owned by Signatory.

Craigduff
Craigduff comes from the Strathisla distillery, which distilled this malt in the 1970s.
The Malt was never bottled as a single malt, it was burned heavily pitched and came exclusively as an "Islay replacement" in the blends of Chivas used.
The fact that this malt was burnt at all was a well-kept secret for a long time.
It was not until Chivas brought out the Vatted Malt "Century" that the existence of this whiskey was made public.
The name Craigduff is said to direct its origins to the nearby Strathisla distillery Craigduff House.

32 years in a sherry-butt make this peated Speyside malt to an absolute rarity!
