The Glenmorangie
Signet
According to Dr. Bill, head whiskymaker for Glenmorangie
Signet has a portion of whisky in it (15-20%) made from chocolate
malt. Bill describes it this way: whisky made from normal whisky
malt is like a cappuccino, while whisky made from chocolate malt
is like an espresso. Signet also contains whisky from Cadboll barley
malt, the first time this has been used in a Glenmorangie (adding
some creaminess to the whisky). The whisky is aged in a variety
of casks, including sherry and new charred oak, and contains some
older whiskies too up to 35 years old.
So how does Signet taste?
Glenmorangie Signet, 46%
This is unlike any Glenmorangie I’ve ever tasted.
It’s a very textural, visceral whisky—partly due to
the chocolate malt, partly due to the casks used. It’s dark
in color for a Glenmorangie, and viscous on the palate, with interwoven
notes of dark chocolate, ground coffee bean, pot still rum, and
spice (cinnamon, nutmeg), followed by a dry, polished leather, tobacco
leaf, roasted walnut finish. This is a fun whisky and earns bonus
points for being unique in taste, but I think its dry, slightly
assertive, finish detracts from what otherwise is a thrilling, dynamic
journey.
