Discover the dark side of our delicious single malt with an even rarer and more decadent edition of our 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, 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
TASTING NOTES
Color
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.
