Signatory Vintage Hogshead Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Signatory Vintage Hogshead Blended Malt Scotch Whisky brings together carefully selected single malt whiskies from across Scotland, including a substantial proportion of smoky Islay malt. Bottled at 43% ABV, this distinctive blend balances honeyed cereals, orchard fruit and creamy vanilla with coastal salinity and gently smouldering peat. Approachable yet full of character, it offers an engaging introduction to the interplay between sweet malt and maritime smoke.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with smoked salmon, barbecued chicken, grilled sausages and aged cheddar. Vegetarian accompaniments include chargrilled mushrooms, smoked Gouda, roasted nuts and caramelized onion tartlets. Dark chocolate and salted caramel desserts complement its smoky sweetness.

Tasting Notes: A characterful blended malt combining sweet orchard fruits, toasted cereal, vanilla oak and honey with coastal peat smoke, sea salt and a touch of dark chocolate.

Nose: Aromas of fresh apple, ripe pear and golden honey mingle with vanilla oak, toasted barley and subtle citrus. Gentle campfire smoke, sea spray and white pepper add an intriguing coastal dimension.

Palate: Rounded and expressive, with honeyed malt, creamy vanilla, salted caramel and soft orchard fruit. Delicate peat smoke develops alongside toasted oak, peppery spice and a hint of liquorice.

Finish: Medium to long, with lingering caramel sweetness, dark chocolate, gentle herbal notes and drying coastal smoke. A final touch of sea salt and oak spice provides a satisfying conclusion.
