First Impressions
Glenmorangie Signet — chocolate malt barley, distilled once a year, 30+ year stocks. Whisky of Year 2016. 46%.
Tasting
Chocolate raisin nose. Rich mocha palate with Turkish delight. Long espresso finish. Luxury without pretension.
The Verdict
Signet earns a 9 — unique in all of Scotch whisky. At £180, the chocolate malt and aged stocks justify the premium. Complexity without chaos.
