Glenmorangie Signet, 70 cl

Product Information

Once the barley has been fermented, it is distilled twice through Glenmorangie's copper-pot stills by a team of 16 distillers known as the Sixteen Men of Tain. Glenmorangie's stills are equipped with relatively small boiler pots, which increases the exposure of the whisky to the copper, resulting in a more pure flavor. In addition, the stills are nearly seventeen feet tall — the tallest of any distillery in Scotland — and as a result, produce a lighter, more refined whisky. There could be, and probably is, more to the process, but this info came a Signet tasting I did with the brand many years ago. Hopefully this gives you a good idea of just how much work goes into making the Signet. Glenmorangie was originally started as a farm brewery, which might surprise you given their reputation for fine whisky today. Known as the Distillers of Tain, this brand has crafted their beverages for 175 years, and the taste now is one that is both fruity and delicate. The copper stills in which Glenmorangie whisky is distilled are the tallest in Scotland and produce a deeper flavour and aroma that is instantly recognisable as the brand's signature.

The first taste left me I little disappointed, because I was expecting dessert levels of sweet from Glenmorangie, but I didn't get it. Once I settled into it, I was surprised at how good it got. It was more complex than I was used to, and not as sweet as I expected, but it was really good. If you take your time with it there is A LOT going on, and it's a fun challenge trying to identify the notes. It's sweeter than it initially appears, but the sweetness sneaks up on you because of everything that's happening, it's more toasted than described, and A LOT more enjoyable than it started.The Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or Sauternes Finish matured in Sauternes casks is known for its sweetness complemented by spicy undertones. Hints of ginger, nutmeg lemon meringue and honeycomb characterize this spirit. Is Glenmorangie a smoky whisky?
