Whisky has some natural fats and oils, which can cause the product to become cloudy when mixed with cold water or ice. To prevent cloudiness, larger distilleries tend to chill and filter their whisky before bottling it to remove the fats and oils. Since these components add to the complexity of a whisky's aroma and flavor, Signatory uses an "un-chillfiltering" process to preserve the natural flavor of our Scotches. Our "un-chillfiltered" whisky retains much more of the body, flavor and texture in the Scotch whisky. *Below is a sampling of our Un-Chillfiltered Collection Glen Rothes 1995 12 year Speyside Smooth, Silky, Slightly Oily.
