Glenmorangie Signet Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

What makes a whisky so exceptional that it becomes the crown jewel of a 175-year-old Highland distillery?

Glenmorangie Signet represents the pinnacle of Highland single malt craftsmanship, created by Master of Whisky Creation Dr. Bill Lumsden using an extraordinary technique rarely seen in Scotch production. This no age statement expression contains some of the distillery’s oldest and rarest stocks, aged between 35-40 years, making it comparable to premium expressions like The Dalmore 25 Years Highland Single Malt. What sets Signet apart is its use of chocolate malt barley – roasted to a rich, dark color and almost never used in whisky production. For those exploring Highland excellence, consider starting with Glenmorangie 12 Years The Original before experiencing this masterpiece.
