Interesting fact… Glenmorangie Signet whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Glenmorangie Signet whiskey, instead of whisky.
Nose: Chocolate raisins, an old-fashioned cocktail, cocoa. Peels.Palate: Sweet, syrupy cinnamon, dries, huge cocoa, oranges, lychees, malt.Finish: Dries and becomes pleasantly rubbery, fruity.Overall: Utterly superb.

What is a chocolate malt?
Thanx in advance:)

Chocolate Malt is Malted Barley that's been roasted for a long period. This extended roasting process turns the malt dark, dark brown, and imparts a deep cocoa, chocolate flavour to the Barley. Guinness and other stouts are made using chocolate malt.
There is a lot of whiskys...
...that is MUCH better for this price!(and even half the price!) We tasted it at The Glenmorangie Distillery last autumn.All four of us thought it was a disapointment!
F. Paul Pacult and the entire judging panel of the Ultimate Spirits Challenge
voted Glenmorangie Signet as one of the 4 best Scotch Whiskies in the world. I think I might trust their judgement more than most...
Double Espresso and Dark Chocolate heaven!
Simply magnificent!
I call it the six element.
Is to sexy to be real.
Big Flavour Smooth Hit
so far this is the 2nd nicest whisky i've ever had. smooth, chocolaty, spicy goodness. Its a shame the samples aren't on offer at the moment as this is well worth a try
Which is No 1?
"So far this is the 2nd nicest whisky i've ever had" Curious to hear which whisky tops the chart :)
Loved it, but is there another Scotch made with chocolate malt?
Tried it once along with a tasting of of four other scotches. This was the best I have ever tasted, but I have trouble enjoying it for the price...
Brilliant
I don't know what it is but this whisky actually tastes like smooth good Belgium semi-sweet dark chocolate, very different to anything else I've had. I personally love it, may be a bit expensive at this price. If I can find it for less then 100punds I'd defiantly get another bottle. Speaking of which, the bottle is very pretty.
Chocolate Malt?
When I heard of a chocolate malt whisky, I wasn't too sure what I'd be tasting. For me it was well worth the wait. It was so smooth, like velvet and the words to descibe it have already been used. Yes there is chocolate but not over powering nor is the orangey coffee flavour either. This for me is the best whiskey I have ever tasted. yes it is more than I would like to pay but then again it is a special whisky for special occasions.
A masterpiece!
Undoubtedly one of the best Scotch Whiskys I've ever tried! On the nose it is complex, dark chocolate, coffee, woody and lightly caramely. On the palate it is mellow, mouth-filling and velvety with the chocolate and woody notes predominantly coming through. Rubust, slightly oily and long-finish. A masterpiece!
Tried a sample yesterday
Let's just say I will be buying a bottle
