Mocha Re-Imagined
As Dr Bill, our freethinking Director of Whisky Creation, enjoyed a cup of his favourite Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, the notion of Signet first came to him. At once his mind filled with spiralling mocha flavours 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 flavour. Bursts of bitter mocha, sizzling spice and waves of dark chocolate, mellowed by smooth butterscotch. Whisky, as you have never tasted it before.
Blend and Origin
Heavily roasted barley gives this unique single malt its rich heart, while estate-grown Cadboll barley provides the creamy Glenmorangie style. The final blend combines sweet whiskies extra-matured in ex-sherry casks, spicy and toasty whiskies from charred, new-oak barrels, and – providing Signet with its signature depth – whiskies from the oldest Glenmorangie stocks.
