The Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Exceptional Edition Speyside (M) 18 Years Old #17 is an exceptionally matured Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2026 after 18 years of maturation. The designation ‘Speyside (M)’ deliberately keeps the exact distillery in the background, whilst the age, origin and cask selection clearly define the character of this bottling. For the maturation, Signatory Vintage opted for first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, whose intense influence lends the single malt a distinctive combination of dark fruits, sherry and spicy oak. This bottling is part of the 100 Proof Exceptional Edition #17, within which Signatory presents particularly well-matured and characterful whiskies at the traditional strength of 100 British Proof.

After almost two decades of cask maturation, the Speyside (M) 2008/2026 is bottled at a robust 57.1% ABV. Signatory Vintage consistently avoids chill filtration and colouring, ensuring that the natural character of the cask is preserved as authentically as possible. The whisky is not smoky, which allows the influence of the first-fill Oloroso sherry butts to come particularly clearly to the fore. Signatory Vintage combines a long maturation period with a high ABV and transparent disclosure of key production details. The combination of 18 years’ maturation, the 2008 vintage, first-fill Oloroso sherry butts and 57.1% makes this 0.7-litre bottling particularly appealing to connoisseurs of long-matured, intensely sherry-influenced Speyside single malts.
