What are independent bottlers?

While distillers make all the whisky, they're not responsible for every bottle on the shelf. There are a whole host of other companies who select casks and bottle whiskies – the independent bottlers. From casks that the distilleries can't release to those that they won't, the indies offer an alternative take on whisky, giving us the chance to try a huge range of different drams.

Signatory Vintage

A favourite independent bottler at TWE and one we work closely with, Signatory has some of the best casks of whisky in the business. From the company's HQ at Edradour distillery, Andrew Symington and his team curate an incredible range of single malts, bottled without compromise.
