Glenmorangie Signet Reserve

Discover the dark side of their delicious single malt with an even rarer and more decadent edition of their award-winning Glenmorangie Signet. To create Glenmorangie Signet Reserve, parcels of matured Signet are meticulously selected by Dr. Bill and his Whisky Creation Team for an additional 12 months of aging in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This process deepens the whisky’s complexity and richness, culminating in a release of highly limited quantities each year.

The original Signet came to be when, after years of crafting whiskies acclaimed for their delicate character, their whisky creators began to explore the richer side of Glenmorangie’s flavour profile. For one week each year, the Distillery is dedicated entirely to Signet’s creation – and everything else is paused. As the air fills with aromas more familiar in an Italian coffee bar, Signet’s espresso-like spirit is distilled. Aged in bourbon, sherry, and virgin oak casks and balanced by some of their oldest stocks, the whisky develops a depth and complexity that astonished the whisky world when Signet was first released in 2008.

Tasting notes:

Colour: Burnt Umber

Aroma: Deep and powerful aromas. Dark chocolate sponge cake and intense espresso coffee. As the nose develops, more coffee and chocolate flavours mix with hazelnut cream, orange zest and muscovado sugar.

Taste: A big mouthcoating whisky with a texture that coats the tastebuds from the first sip. Chocolate truffles, toffee, treacle and fudge. Then notes of Turkish coffee and roasted coffee beans. Some toasted cinnamon emerges mixing with orange oil, citrus, milk chocolate raisins, then raspberry.

Finish: Incredibly complex flavours of coffee and chocolate develop in the lengthy finish. More creamy toffee eventually finishes in the familiar flavour of tiramisu.
