A blend of specific and rare elements, containing all our secrets, Signet is the culmination of a lifetime's expertise. This whisky is without doubt the richest in our range: a blend of our oldest whisky, distilled over thirty years ago when malting was still carried out on site, and aged in some of the world's finest casks. Although only our whisky-makers know the innermost secrets of how it's made, we can tell you that Signet's mellow sweetness and pronounced spiciness come, in part, from our unique toasted 'chocolate' barley malt and 'designer casks' custom-made for Glenmorangie from American white oak.
This 17-year-old single malt is truly unusual. For the first time, it has been aged exclusively in American oak Hogshead casks. This gives it a spring-like, fruity, honeyed and sweet character.
Nose: Espresso coffee, chocolate pie and cocoa. Fruity notes (plums, candied orange peel, cherries, dates, dried fruit) and sweet spices (cinnamon, ginger).
Mouth: Mocha coffee and spices. Notes of melting apricots and orange zest, cinnamon, walnuts, raisins and ginger.
