Signatory Vintage The Glenlivet 15 Year Old 2007 WLS 22 - 70cl
A whisky of genuine rarity and singular character, this Signatory Vintage bottling of The Glenlivet 2007 was distilled at the famous Speyside distillery and matured for fifteen years in a single first-fill sherry butt before being bottled exclusively for Whisky Live Singapore 2022 — one of Asia's most celebrated annual whisky festivals — by La Maison du Whisky Singapore. Limited to just 879 bottles from Single Cask No. 900284, the WLS 22 represents the kind of independently bottled Glenlivet that simply cannot be found in any official distillery release: a whisky that trades the distillery's usual ex-bourbon-forward lightness for the richness, depth, and complexity of fifteen years in a single first-fill sherry butt, revealing an altogether more textured and characterful side of one of Speyside's most beloved distilleries.
What makes Signatory Vintage's work with The Glenlivet so compelling is the freedom their single cask approach affords — each bottling a direct, unmediated expression of a specific cask and vintage, bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and naturally coloured, with nothing standing between the drinker and fifteen years of genuine sherry oak transformation. Here, The Glenlivet's signature fruit character — melon, kiwi, and orchard brightness — mingles with the deeper, spicier influence of the first-fill sherry butt in a profile that is restrained and elegant rather than overtly sherried, with a distinctive floral-herbal quality and tea-like complexity that sets this expression apart from every other Glenlivet on the market. A truly special Singapore-exclusive collector's bottle.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Elegant and intriguing with melon, cinnamon, and a delicate hint of sweet rose bud leading the way, with water revealing vanilla, kiwi, and Muscat grape fruit tarts — a restrained, refined sherry butt influence that allows The Glenlivet's natural fruit character to shine through beautifully.
PALATE
Lightly syrupy and complex with cranberry fruit leather, roasted barley tea, and a gentle touch of cardamom, with plums and hibiscus emerging with water — a distinctive, layered palate that balances classic Speyside fruit with the subtle depth of fifteen years in first-fill sherry oak.
FINISH
Long and delicately sustained with menthol, sourdough, oolong tea, and the faintest hint of balsamic rancio — a surprisingly restrained and nuanced close for a first-fill sherry butt, demonstrating the quality and finesse of this single cask selection.
