Signatory Speyside (M) 14 Year Old Small Batch

Speyside (M) 14 Year Old Small Batch – Signatory Vintage is an intriguing Speyside single malt Scotch whisky from an undisclosed distillery, independently bottled as part of Signatory Vintage's Small Batch series.

Distilled in 2011 and matured for 14 years, this expression was finished in first-fill Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry butts, creating a rich and indulgent interpretation of classic Speyside single malt whisky.

The identity of the producing distillery remains officially undisclosed, identified only by the letter “M”. This deliberate anonymity adds an element of intrigue for whisky enthusiasts and collectors, allowing the character of the spirit and its cask maturation to take centre stage.

Pedro Ximénez sherry is renowned for its intensely sweet, dark-fruit character. The first-fill PX cask finish introduces layers of raisins, dates, figs, treacle and dark chocolate, complemented by the underlying elegance and fruitiness associated with Speyside whisky.

Expect inviting aromas of rich fruitcake, sultanas, orange peel and polished oak, followed by a smooth, full-bodied palate of dark cherries, chocolate-covered raisins, caramel and warming baking spices.

The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering dried fruit sweetness, cocoa, toasted nuts and gentle oak spice.

Bottled at 48.2% ABV, without chill filtration or added colouring, this small-batch expression retains its natural colour, texture and flavour.

Speyside (M) 14 Year Old Signatory Small Batch is a compelling choice for enthusiasts of sherry-finished Scotch whisky, independent bottlings and undisclosed Speyside distilleries.

Its combination of 2011 vintage spirit, 14 years of maturation and first-fill PX sherry finishing makes it an appealing addition to any collection of richly matured single malt Scotch whisky.
