Glenlivet 1973 - 1998. 25 Year Old. Bottled by Signatory Vintage. Cask number 3307. One of 570 bottles matured in a Sherry Butt. 70cl. 57.2%. In presentation box.
A fantastic old single cask Glenlivet 1973 25-year-old Speyside single email whisky released by indie bottlers Signatory Vintage back in 1998 in their famous ‘inkpot’ dumpy bottles. This wonderful old (and very rare) indie Glenlivet was bottled from single cask 3307, a sherry butt that turned out an impressive 570 bottles at a remarkable 57.2%. Independently bottled Glenlivet has never been abundant, but this cask strength 1970s single cask is a classic old school sherried Glenlivet of the highest order.
One of Scotland’s iconic distilleries, Glenlivet is currently the joint largest single malt whisky distillery in Scotland at 21m litres per annum. The distillery was expanded in 2010, raising the number of stills to fourteen, before the construction of a third stillhouse in 2018 brought the total number of stills to 28. Having achieved production parity with Glenfiddich, Glenlivet is now catching their rival in sales terms as well and may soon become the biggest-selling single malt whisky in the world.
Glenlivet has rarely been independently bottled, but the official releases are sufficiently plentiful and diverse that this isn’t an issue. Glenlivet ages well in both bourbon and sherry casks, and a raft of official releases at various strengths, ages and cask types are available to satisfy the pickiest whisky buyers. At auction the old 1950s and 1960s vintages bottled for the Cellar Collection are always worth looking out for.
Signatory Vintage Whisky Company was founded by Andrew Symington in 1988 after a spell as assistant manager at the Prestonfield House Hotel, where he had the opportunity to buy a cask of Glenlivet 1968. A robust and canny businessman, Symington had soon acquired some outstanding parcels of casks from great distilleries, and quickly established a reputation among single malt fans for good value, high quality single casks, the majority of which were released at full strength.
Throughout the 1990s and beyond, Signatory released outstanding whisky from Ardbeg, Glenfarclas, Springbank and many more, with frequently remarkable examples of lost or obscure distilleries. Soon established as one of the leading new wave independent bottlers, Symington was also an early exponent of bottling whiskies without colouring or chill filtration, a policy that has also served Signatory well at their Edradour distillery, which was purchased in 2002.
