(Pre-Order) Signatory Vintage 1990 Clynelish 35 Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Signatory Vintage 1990 Clynelish 35 Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an exceptionally rare, long-aged Highland release distilled in 1990 and matured for an extraordinary 35 years before bottling in 2025. Released as part of Signatory Vintage’s prestigious Cask Strength Collection – Symington’s Choice, this remarkable single cask was matured entirely in a Bourbon Barrel, allowing Clynelish’s legendary waxy, fruit-driven character to develop naturally over more than three decades. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 40.6%, with an extraordinarily limited outturn of just 63 bottles, this is a highly collectible example of mature Clynelish and a rare opportunity to experience the distillery at significant age.

Founded in 1988, Signatory Vintage has established itself as one of Scotland’s most respected independent bottlers, renowned for selecting exceptional individual casks and presenting whisky with minimal intervention. Symington’s Choice represents a particularly prestigious selection within the Cask Strength Collection, with casks personally chosen by Signatory founder Andrew Symington.

After 35 years in a Bourbon Barrel, these characteristics have evolved into an exceptionally elegant and mature whisky, with the restrained cask influence allowing the quality and individuality of the spirit to remain at the centre of the experience.

Tasting Notes:
The aroma is beautifully complex and refined, opening with ripe tropical fruits and vibrant citrus layered around Clynelish’s unmistakable waxy character. Delicate notes of dried hay, soft vanilla and mature oak emerge underneath, creating an elegant balance between freshness and decades of maturation. The palate delivers intense pineapple and sweet toffee alongside the distillery’s signature waxy texture, with beautifully integrated oak spice providing additional weight, structure and depth. The finish is lingering and sophisticated, with vibrant grapefruit bringing freshness before delicate almond and seasoned oak emerge, leaving a dry, elegant and wonderfully mature final impression.
