Founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington, Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky Company emerged during a period when independent bottling was still a relatively understated part of the Scotch whisky landscape. Symington’s approach was clear from the outset: to source individual casks and present them with minimal interference, often at natural cask strength, allowing the character of both distillery and maturation to remain fully intact. It was a philosophy rooted not in consistency, but in variation, and in the belief that each cask had something distinct to say.
