2008 Signatory Vintage The Un-Chillfiltered Collection Teaninich 11 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

In April 2013, Diageo announced a new renovation of Teaninich as well as the building of a new distillery with 16 new stills right next to it (but with a different name and production schedule). Malt enthusiasts should note this Teaninich is from the previous era, having been distilled in 2008. By any standards, Teaninich bottlings are rare. In fact, the distillery's focus is producing malts for blending (it's used in Johnnie Walker Red Label). To our knowledge, there have been less than a handful of official bottlings - the rest are released by indies like Signatory.

Matured in two hogsheads and offered as part of their 'Un-chillfiltered' range, for those wondering what the fuss is about - chill-filtering is a process to remove the majority of fats and oils naturally occurring in malts. Large distilleries use chill filtering to remove cloudiness and to ensure consistent appearance in their blends. Signatory take the opposite approach in order to maximise flavour and mouthfeel. 46% Alc./Vol.
