Signatory Vintage 1995 Glenburgie 30 Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an exceptional long-aged Speyside release distilled in 1995 and matured for 30 years before bottling in 2026. Released as part of Signatory Vintage’s prestigious Cask Strength Collection – Symington’s Choice, this remarkable single cask received a finish in a 1st Fill Amontillado Sherry Hogshead, bringing together Glenburgie’s naturally elegant, fruit-driven spirit with the distinctive dry, nutty and complex influence of Amontillado sherry. The combination of three decades of maturation and an active sherry finish creates a sophisticated expression balancing ripe orchard fruit, dried fruits, cocoa and mature oak.

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, showcasing individual casks personally selected by Signatory founder Andrew Symington. Glenburgie itself remains relatively uncommon as a standalone single malt, despite its longstanding reputation for producing beautifully aromatic and fruit-forward Speyside spirit. The use of Amontillado is particularly intriguing here, introducing a drier and more nuanced style of sherry influence that complements rather than overwhelms Glenburgie’s mature orchard fruit and malt character.

Tasting Notes:
The aroma is beautifully mature and expressive, opening with ripe peach and fresh apple before developing into deeper notes of dried figs and raisins. Honey provides a gentle sweetness while orange peel introduces a bright citrus accent, creating an elegant balance between fresh fruit and mature sherry character. The palate reveals a harmonious combination of soft malt and multifaceted sherry influence, with mature oak providing structure alongside touches of cocoa, dried fruit and subtle nuttiness. The finish is long, dry and sophisticated, with spicy seasoned oak leading into dark cocoa and the distinctive nutty, refined character of Amontillado sherry, leaving a complex and beautifully mature final impression.
