“Aromas of musty oak, old library books, broiled peaches, ladyfinger cookies, and a hint of tobacco on a mellow nose. The palate offer bitter chocolate, but also sweet flavors of warm peach tart, crème brûlée, and lemon pie, with a dash of jalapeño pepper spice. The finish is very long, offering vanilla custard sprinkled with chocolate flakes and cinnamon. Very well-integrated with deep, layered flavor creating a sublime whisky.” 94 Points, Whisky Advocate
“A fusion of unique and rare elements, and clouded in secrecy, Signet is the culmination of a lifetime’s experience. A blend of our oldest whisky – distilled over thirty years ago when malting still occurred on site – and spirit matured in a selection of the world’s finest casks, this undoubtedly is the richest whisky in our range.Of course, whilst the exact secrets of its production are known only to our whisky creators, we can tell you that Signet’s melting sweetness and explosive spiciness is, at least in part, caused by our unique roasted ‘chocolate’ barley malt and the ‘designer casks’ made bespoke for Glenmorangie from American white oak. Non chill-filtered.”
