Bottled at 46%, Signet Reserve is a parcel of Glenmorangie's famous Signet, extra matured for 12 months in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks.
Producer Description
"The original Signet came to be when, after years of crafting whiskies acclaimed for their delicate character, our 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 our oldest stocks, the whisky develops a depth and complexity that astonished the whisky world when Signet was first released in 2008.
""...Now, by aging Glenmorangie Signet further in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, we are taking that whisky’s hallmark style even deeper into deliciousness. With its notes of chocolate truffles, toffee, fudge, and tiramisu, Signet Reserve offers layers of luxurious decadence, which will be enjoyed by whisky lovers old and new.” - Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Whisky Creation"
750ml ml Low StockProducer Tasting Note
Nose: 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.
