Glenmorangie Signet / 46% / 0.7l

Glenmorangie Signet, perhaps the most unique whisky in the entry-level range, debuted in 2008.

It is a marriage of whisky distilled from local barley aged for up to 30 years and whisky distilled from so-called chocolate malt (approx. 20%) aged for about 10 years. Chocolate malt is used in the production of dark beers such as porter and stout. The name of the whisky refers to a pattern carved in stone by the Picts ruling in northern Scotland in the 9th century, which decorates almost every bottle of Glenmorangie. Glenmorangie Signet has won several significant medals and awards, the latest gold medal in 2017 during the International Spirit Challenge competition.
