Bunnahabhain 1997 Signatory Vintage 10 Year Old Cask Strength

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.

A 10 year old Bunnahabhain, this was distilled on 1st December 1997 and bottled on 2nd October 2008 from hogshead #5287.

An austere piece of Victorian architecture on the north-east coast of Islay, Bunnahabhain is a relative outsider on the island, traditionally known for producing an un-peated single malt. The majority of this was used for blending, as was its initial intended purpose. The distillery was shut for 2 years in 1982 following the market downturn of the period, and despite being revived at low production, it was eventually officially bottled as a single malt later that decade, with the self-deprecating tag-line, “the un-pronounceable malt.”
