Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
Upon pouring, Glenmorangie Signet reveals an alluring dark amber color, tinged with golden highlights. The legs are thick and slow-moving, indicative of the whisky's rich and viscous texture.
Nose (Aroma):
The bouquet is a complex mélange of aromas that engage the senses instantly. Dark chocolate and espresso emerge first, followed by layers of spiced orange, candied lemon peel, and a subtle underpinning of toasted malt. Notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and dried fruits, particularly fig and date, add to the olfactory complexity.
Palate:
An initial burst of dark chocolate and coffee commands attention, elegantly transitioning into the spiciness of cinnamon and aniseed. This is complemented by layers of fruitiness—tangerine, apricot, and ripe cherries—that lend brightness and balance. The textural mouthfeel is creamy and voluptuous, with undertones of almond and walnut adding an additional layer of complexity. The presence of malted barley is a tribute to Glenmorangie's unique use of "chocolate malt" in the production of Signet, resulting in a velvety palate not commonly found in Scotch whiskies.
Finish:
The finish is extraordinarily long, marked by a sustained dark chocolate note and an evolving crescendo of spices. A background of tobacco and leather surfaces towards the end, adding depth and maturity.

Crafted for the discerning connoisseur, it is a sumptuous affair that challenges and rewards with its intricate layers of flavor.
