Glenmorangie
Scotland
Single Malt
This superb Glenmorangie was created with a marriage of whiskies produced from two unique types of malted barley: a single estate Cadboll variety and malted chocolate barley, which is better known as a basis for craft beers.
The Signet was distilled twice through Glenmorangie's copper-pot stills, by a team of 16 distillers known as the 'Sixteen Men of Tain'. It was subsequently matured in bespoke American virgin oak casks before it was bottled at 46%, and received no chill-filtration.
While it carries no-age-statement, there is said to be an element of some of the distillery's oldest and rarest stocks, ranging from 35 to 40 years old, in this Highland single malt.
The Signet won Whisky of the Year in 2016, and this edition takes it name from the ornate square design that adorns most Glenmorangie bottles. The signet itself originated from the Hilton of Cadboll Stone, a Pictish artefact that dates back to around the year 800 AD.
The nose begins with chocolate raisins and sugared mixed peels. Toasted spices, bread and butter pudding and golden syrup complement these aromas, while a note of Angostura bitters lingers beneath.
Sweet, syrupy cinnamon and drying malt lead, before a suggestion of Terry's Chocolate Orange rises. A hint of lime rind is present, as are lychees and dates. The backdrop is filled with tobacco leaves and freshly roasted espresso beans, with a little honey-roasted cashew.
The finish dries and becomes pleasantly rubbery, as a touch of truffle oil emerges.
Utterly superb.

I get given various bottles of Whisky from customers to try but Glenmornagie Signet took me to another level , Smooth ,clean, sweet with cream chocolate tones and YES with ice from a Scotsman to . Signet is a wee hidden gem to keep all for yourself . Slangaver Lang mae yir lumb reek .
I get the feeling that those who are giving a bad rating and a poor review are more interested in deterring you from buying, so that there is more stock available FOR THEM !!!!!!!
This is a wonderful whisky. I can only assume the few negative (1star) comments are by trolls or rival distillary employees. Anyone who loves whisky will give this minimum 3. Five stars from me considering the price.
I’ve never been disappointed by any of the Glenmorangies, great bang for the buck. This one by far is my favorite!
Magnum Opus for a whiskey. I tasted over 20 single malts when i was in Scotland and this one took the cake!
