Signet is a fusion of unique elements, whose secrets are known only to our whisky creators. From its inception, Glenmorangie has been world-reknown as the foremost exponet to the art of whisky creation. Continually pushing boundaries through innovation, our whiskey creators still retain the most sacred secrets at the heart of SIGNET.
They have shared these secrets with no one. This is as much as they are prepared to reveal... Rare & exclusive ingredients, including single estate barley and high roast "chocolate" malted barley. Rare & ancient whiskies drawn from our archive, including whisky from our original maltings. Rich, sweet flavors with hints of chocolate & coffee.
As Dr Bill, our freethinking Director of Whisky Creation, enjoyed a cup of his favorite Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, the notion of Signet first came to him. At once his mind filled with spiralling mocha flavors that he could not forget. It would take him years to bring our unprecedented whisky to life. But in its tiramisu tones and melting chocolate, you can taste his most delicious imaginings.
Signet begins with our precious chocolate malt spirit, made just once a year in our giraffe-high stills. Its espresso-like intensity fills our Distillery with aromas more familiar in an Italian coffee bar.Over the years, we temper its power with rare and treasured casks. Bourbon for creaminess. Sherry for sweetness. The spice of virgin charred oak. All balanced by some of the oldest whisky we own.
The result? A velvet explosion of flavor. Bursts of bitter mocha, sizzling spice and waves of dark chocolate, mellowed by smooth butterscotch. Whisky, as you have never tasted it.
