- Description
- Fettercairn's 1997 distillate matured for 20 years in two hogshead casks before Signatory's un-chillfiltered release in 2018, preserving the whisky's full character without compromise. Two decades of oak aging built rich, complex flavours while avoiding chill-filtration allows natural oils and congeners to remain. For whisky enthusiasts who value uncompromising production methods and the depth only 20 years of maturation can deliver.
