Old School Malts 50 Year Old – Coastal Edition, bottled by Signatory Vintage, is an extraordinary single malt Scotch whisky matured for half a century in an Oloroso sherry butt. This venerable release captures the meeting point of long-aged oak influence and evocative coastal character, delivering remarkable depth, balance and poise.
Time has worked gently yet decisively, allowing sherry richness to intertwine with maritime elements drawn from decades of slow maturation. Briny coastal notes weave through layers of dried fruit, dark chocolate and polished oak, while flashes of citrus and sea salt bring lift and clarity. Bottled at a composed 43.1% ABV, this is a whisky defined not by power, but by harmony, elegance and sense of place.
A truly contemplative dram, the Coastal Edition transports the drinker to windswept cliffs above crashing seas—where age, oak and ocean meet in perfect balance.
