Club Mareva Beirut's Commitment to Signatory Vintage

August 4, 2026

At Club Mareva Beirut, we have always believed that exceptional whisky deserves exceptional presentation, knowledgeable service, and a home where enthusiasts can truly appreciate it. That philosophy is exactly why we are proud to reaffirm our long term commitment to Signatory Vintage, one of Scotland's most respected independent bottlers.

Our commitment is simple.

Whenever a Signatory Vintage release is officially available in the Lebanese market, our goal is to have it available at Club Mareva Beirut. From the renowned 100 Proof Edition to the prestigious Cask Strength Collection and other exceptional releases, we are dedicated to maintaining the most complete Signatory Vintage selection possible for our members and guests.

A Name That Commands Respect

Founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington, Signatory Vintage has earned an outstanding reputation among whisky collectors, connoisseurs, and industry professionals around the world.

Unlike traditional distilleries that only bottle their own whisky, Signatory Vintage is an independent bottler. This allows the company to carefully select exceptional casks from many of Scotland's most celebrated distilleries, offering whisky lovers an opportunity to experience unique expressions that may never appear as official distillery releases.

Every bottle tells a different story.

Each cask develops its own personality through years of maturation, making every release a snapshot of a particular whisky at a particular moment in time. Many of these bottlings are produced in very limited quantities, making them highly sought after by collectors while remaining remarkably accessible to those who simply appreciate outstanding whisky.

A Philosophy Built on Authenticity

What makes Signatory Vintage truly special is its dedication to preserving whisky exactly as nature intended.

Many releases are presented with minimal intervention, allowing the whisky's true character to shine.

Depending on the collection, bottles may be:

  • Natural in colour.

Non chill filtered.

Bottled directly from a single cask.

Bottled at natural cask strength or at carefully selected proof levels.

Rather than creating consistency by blending numerous casks together, Signatory Vintage celebrates individuality. Every cask is allowed to express its own personality, resulting in whiskies that are honest, distinctive, and unforgettable.

Discover Scotland Through One Collection

One of the greatest strengths of Signatory Vintage is the incredible diversity it offers.

Within a single portfolio, whisky enthusiasts can explore iconic distilleries from every corner of Scotland.

Whether your preference is the elegance of Speyside, the rich character of the Highlands, the maritime influence of the Islands, or the bold peat of Islay, Signatory Vintage offers an extraordinary journey through Scotland's whisky landscape.

For seasoned collectors, these bottlings often provide rare opportunities to experience distilleries from a completely different perspective.

For newcomers, they offer an exceptional education in how wood, age, spirit, and maturation combine to create unique flavour profiles.

The Signatory Vintage Experience at Club Mareva Beirut

At Club Mareva Beirut, whisky is never simply poured into a glass.

It is introduced, discussed, appreciated, and shared.

Our team enjoys guiding guests through the unique characteristics of each bottle, helping them compare different distilleries, cask types, ages, and bottling styles. Whether you are tasting your very first Signatory Vintage expression or expanding an already impressive collection of experiences, every visit becomes an opportunity to discover something new.

Our recent blind tasting evening dedicated entirely to Signatory Vintage perfectly demonstrated the exceptional quality and diversity of the range. Guests experienced five remarkable whiskies without knowing their identities, judging each solely on aroma, flavour, balance, complexity, and finish. The event highlighted exactly why Signatory Vintage continues to earn the admiration of whisky lovers around the world.

Our Promise

Club Mareva Beirut is proud to stand behind one of Scotland's finest independent bottlers.

As new Signatory Vintage releases arrive in Lebanon, we will continue working to ensure they find a place on our shelves and in the glasses of our guests.

Our mission is not simply to stock whisky.

It is to create the country's finest destination for discovering, appreciating, and enjoying the remarkable world of Signatory Vintage.

We invite every whisky enthusiast, whether experienced or just beginning the journey, to visit Club Mareva Beirut and explore one of the most exciting independent whisky collections available in Lebanon.
