Arbikie Highland Estate Distillery has launched The Signature, its first-ever Single Estate Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The release is available from September 7, 2026, from the independent Scottish farm distillery in Angus, Scotland.
The Signature marks the inaugural expression in Arbikie’s long-term single malt program. The launch date coincides with the anniversary of Arbikie filling its first-ever cask.
“The Signature represents everything our team has been working towards since we filled our first casks 10 years ago,” said Iain Stirling, co-founder of Arbikie Highland Estate Distillery.

READ THE STORYOnly 1,000 bottles have been released worldwide, priced at £250 (US$338) each. The whisky was produced from Odyssey barley grown on the Arbikie Estate in Angus. It was matured for 10 years in six bourbon casks and bottled at 48% ABV.
Every stage of production took place on the estate. The barley was grown in the family’s coastal fields, and the whisky was matured in the estate’s former dairy warehouses.
According to the official notes from the brand, The Signature opens with aromas of ripe peach, banana bread and lemon sherbet. This leads to notes of brioche, apricot marmalade and citrus, before a finish of creamy vanilla, orange blossom and lingering spice.

Stirling added: “It is our first Single Estate Single Malt Scotch Whisky, but more importantly it demonstrates what can be achieved when every decision, from the barley we grow to the casks we fill, happens on the same estate.”
He continued: “We have never been interested in releasing a single malt simply because the market expected it. We wanted our first whisky to reflect our farm, our family, our philosophy and the dedication of everyone who has helped nurture it from field to bottle. After 10 years of patience, we believe The Signature does exactly that.”
The family-owned distillery is a certified B Corp. It was named global Sustainable Distillery of the Year at the Icons of Whisky 2026.
The Signature marks the beginning of Arbikie’s Single Estate Single Malt collection. Future releases are planned to explore the whisky’s evolution through age and cask character.
The Signature is available at thearbikie.com and through Arbikie’s worldwide trade partners.
