Speyside (M) 2010 SV is a 14-year-old single malt Scotch whisky bottled by Signatory Vintage. It was distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2025. As with the "(M)" designation and other Signatory Vintage bottlings, this whisky is widely believed to have come from the Macallan distillery. Matured in first- and second-fill Oloroso sherry butts, it has an ABV of 48.2% and is non-chill-filtered and uncolored, preserving its natural character.

Tasting Notes

Aroma (Nose):
Dried fruits such as raisins and figs, honey, vanilla, a hint of orange peel, nutmeg and elegant spice, depth and complexity from sherry casks

Taste (Pareto):
Smooth and full-bodied, with layers of caramel, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts. Accents of ripe red fruit and cinnamon. A touch of oak balances the sweetness.

Finish:
A long, elegant and warm sherry finish with subtle spices, cocoa, roasted almonds, orange oil and tobacco leaf notes.

Flavor Profile: Full-bodied and spicy, with a perfect balance of sherry sweetness and traditional oak spice. Complexity: The use of first- and second-fill Oloroso casks allows for a rich sherry flavor and the natural malt character to coexist. A harmonious finish that is neither too sweet nor too dry.
Palate: Rich and powerful, with a malty core and a pleasant sulfurous character (adds character but not too much)
Cost performance: Highly rated for its affordable price compared to the official Macallan, yet offering the same quality and depth.

Signatory Vintage's Speyside (M) 2010 Single Malt is an excellent independent bottling of depth and complexity. It has the classic sherry-flavored Speyside character, with balance and power reminiscent of The Macallan. This is a recommended choice for whiskey lovers and those looking to enjoy a high-quality sherry cask-aged single malt at a more affordable price than the official Macallan.
