I.W. Harper has only been on the market again since 2015. 15 years is a proud age for a Bourbon. The brand itself can also look back on a long tradition. The first whiskey was distilled under the name I.W. Harper as early as 1872. Production was discontinued in the 1980s.

Blackened is a blend of hand-selected, well-aged North American Bourbon and Rye whiskeys that resulted from the collaboration of the late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell and the band Metallica. The Blend was uniquely matured in black brandy barrels while music by Metallica was played at full volume. This is to allow the liquid to penetrate deeper into the barrel staves. A very creative, new approach to maturation.

In the 100 Proof Edition from Signatory Vintage, exclusive whiskies are bottled with an alcohol content of at least 57.1% vol. The term proof is an ancient unit of measurement for the alcohol content of a drink, especially whisky, which indicates the minimum alcohol content above which gunpowder soaked in the liquid can be ignited. This method was used in the heyday of seafaring so that the barrels in the belly of the ship could withstand the harsh weather conditions at sea. The series fills a gap in the Signatory range. The 9-year-old Blair Athol 100 Proof Edition #3 single malt matured in first fill Oloroso sherry butts and was bottled at 57.1% vol. without the addition of colour and without chill-filtering.

The Colombian producer of Gin, cigars and coffee is best known for its rum. Dictador was founded in 1913 in Cartagena on the northern coast of Colombia. Great importance is attached to careful production and well-kept recipes, which are continued today by the third generation of the Parra family. This 12-year-old Dictador rum is made from the fermentation of pure sugar cane honey, which is distilled partly in Copper Pot Stills and partly in a Continuous Steel Column Still. The South American rum is matured in ex-bourbon barrels made of American oak and receives a subsequent finish in sherry casks.

The Aberlour Double Cask is matured partly in American oak casks and partly in Spanish sherry casks. After maturation, the malts were married together. This gives this Aberlour its distinctive fruitiness.

This 8-year-old Caol Ila belongs to the benchmark series of the independent bottler Murray McDavid, who is based in Speyside at the Coleburn distillery. In his various series, he bottles a wide variety of Single Malts, Grains and Blends. In this series, whiskies are post-matured in selected casks. This Single Malt, for example, was first matured in Bourbon Hogshead and then refined in First Fill Pauillac (Latour) Wine Casks. The design of the bottle features a thicker glass base and a high-quality wooden handle cork. The noble packaging and label of this bottling shines in a fresh colour scheme of silver and green tones.

Rums from Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados and the Dominican Republic form the basis for the spiced rum spirit. It is refined with an essence of pineapple.

This limited edition matured for between 8 and 30 years using the solera method, resulting in an incomparable Taste of wood and fruit. Originally named after a famous racehorse in 1985, there are now many bottlings from the distillery, which advertises its rum itself as "The Spirit of Costa Rica". Due to the special location between the Caribbean and the Pacific, unique weather conditions develop that have a special influence on the maturation of the rum. The distillery itself attaches great importance to sustainability and the well-being of its employees.
