| Description: | History,. Macallan 1984 Signatory Vintage 20 Year Old Cask Strength. A single cask Macallan, distilled on 6th November 1984 and bottled on 4th August 2005 by Signatory Vintage as part of their Cask Strength Collection. Signatory Vintage were established in 1988 by Andrew Symington and are one of Scotland's most prolific independent bottlers. Their offices and bottling facility are located next to Edradour distillery, which they have also owned since 2002. It may be hard to imagine today, but for much of the 20th century, Macallan was primarily a constituent malt in blends. It was not until the 1980s downturn in the market that the distillery decided to focus on its single malt brand. Fortuitously, this coincided with the crest of a wave of enthusiasm for the high quality releases that the distillery had licensed to Campbell, Hope & King and Gordon & MacPhail in the 1960s and 1970s. These remain some of the most collectible on the market. While global single malt sales volume is still lead by Speyside neighbours, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet, Macallan is easily the most sought after. So much so in fact, that they had to open a brand new distillery in 2018, a subterranean architectural masterpiece within the Easter Elchies estate, boasting 36 copper pot stills. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Oranges, marmalade, plums, an unexpected apperance of strawberries and tobacco. Palate: Oranges and kumquats, ginger, a very small amount quinine and leather. Finish: Leafy, with oranges and a drop of seawater. |
