A Tribute to Scotland’s Lost Distilleries
The history of whisky is rich with tales of old distilleries, some of which have been closed or mothballed, leaving behind memories of their unique spirits. For many whisky lovers, the allure of these lost distilleries lies in the character and craftsmanship that can no longer be found in modern production. Signatory Vintage, a revered independent bottler, pays homage to this history with its Silent Stills series—a collection that celebrates the rare and irreplaceable whiskies from Scotland’s closed distilleries.
What is the Silent Stills Series?
The Silent Stills Series from Signatory Vintage is a carefully curated range of single malt Scotch whiskies, each sourced from a distillery that has ceased production. These “silent” or “ghost” distilleries once played a role in Scotland’s whisky landscape but have since been closed down, with their remaining stocks becoming increasingly scarce. Signatory has took the opportunity to preserve the essence of these lost distilleries, releasing rare bottlings that capture their distinct character - all bottled at cask strength and from single casks, limited to a few hundred bottles each in most cases.
