In 1806 the Cambus distillery was founded and produced mainly produced grain whisky. Cambus is a village near Alloa 4 miles east of Stirling. It sits on the River Devon. In 1913 it was destroyed by a fire which forced it to close until 1938. Most of the spirit from this distillery was used in blends. It was closed in 1993 but the spirit still remains being bottled by mainly independent bottlers.
Signatory Vintage are an independent bottler founded in 1988 by Andrew and Brian Symington. The name ‘Signatory’ was derived from the initial intention to find a person of suitable standing to sign the labels for bottles drawn from a single cask. The first cask bottled was a 1968 Glenlivet which quickly sold through long before any suitable signee could be found.
Signatory currently bottle at three strengths: 43%, 46% Unchillfiltered (UCF) and Cask Strength.To add proof of authenticity to their cask strength bottlings, Signatory always include the cask numbers, date of distillation, date of bottling and number of bottles produced.Signatory Vintage’s aim is to offer as wide a range of whiskies as possible, some of which are not even bottled by the proprietary distillery.
