This beauty rested in dark Oloroso Sherry's butts since the first issue of Rolling Stone magazine was released. Do the math or read the label! Only 580 bottles exist peacefully in luxurious wooden presentation cases, waiting for a collector's shelf to crown with its signature 'untamed Spirit of Islay.'
Signatory bottled this Single Malt at 52.2% ABV in an understated bottle to further underline what it's all about — chasing perfection. Ardbeg came so close; there's no tangible line to taste anymore - it's oozing out of every drop. What a wonder.

Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Is Scotch always Scottish? What do you think? Yes. The answer is yes.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
