Andrew and Brian Symington established Signatory in 1988, and it is best recognized for their independent Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky bottlings, which include the Cask Strength and Un-Chill Filtered collections. Signatory is currently among the biggest independent whiskey bottlers and even acquired Edradour distillery from Pernod Ricard in 2002, despite an earlier goal to have all of their bottles signed by the great and the good (the concept that gave the firm its name) having long ago been abandoned.
