The 8th release in Glenmorangie's Bond House No,1 range, was built around a parcel of whisky which was filled into virgin oak by Dr. Bill Lumsden in 1998, shortly after he took over as director of whisky creation. The virgin oak matured whisky was married with classic whiskies from ex-Bourbon and Sherry casks. The whisky has been bottled at 43% and 23 years of age.
Producer Description
"The Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1998 is like embarking on a transatlantic journey from the world of classic bourbon, to the sherry bodegas in Jerez, both finessed with virgin new charred oak. Rich with vibrant fruits, smooth toffee, and ginger, this whisky’s eloquence is a symbol of our elegant, experimental style.
"The year this whisky was distilled, there was a fresh air of enthusiasm at the Distillery. Having joined Glenmorangie some years before, Dr Bill Lumsden had just taken charge of all Glenmorangie’s whisky creation. And he was bursting with ideas for evermore delicious whiskies.
"Dr Bill was particularly eager to explore the wonders new charred oak barrels might bring to Glenmorangie’s soft, fruity spirit. And so he earmarked a handful of carefully crafted casks, tailormade to enrich the Distillery’s single malt. By charring the virgin wood of these bespoke casks for the first time, Dr Bill hoped to create a striking style of single malt, intense in colour and spice.
"Dr Bill was overjoyed by the spicy depths of his unprecedented experiment. And imagining how he might complement that whisky’s rare flavours, he set about uniting Glenmorangie’s delicacy with its toasty, buttery power.First he layered those oaky notes with soft, fruity Glenmorangie aged in first-fill bourbon casks. Then brought sweet subtlety with a hint of whisky finished in oloroso sherry casks."

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"

Elegantly packaged in a cognac like bottle the whisky has been matured in bourbon barrels before finishing in Oloroso sherry casks.
Producer Description
"To create it, we gather the silky, fruity spirit from our giraffe-high stills and let it steep in American oak casks. No less than 15 years later, we transfer a portion into Oloroso sherry casks for three more years. Once 18 years have passed, we reunite them to create its warm balance of sweet, floral lushness. Rich marmalade flavours brush against honey and fig, touches of caramelized orange and far-off campfire smoke. Have a taste, and let your imagination wander to the edge of an autumn afternoon."

SIGNET also contains rare and ancient whiskies from the Glenmorangie's archives, aged for over 34 years.
