Glenmorangie Signet

The first few sips tasted quite spicy and left a smokey aftertaste. While I held it in my mouth I felt the cinnamon notes. For a second try i added 3 drops of tap-water and BOOM! All the flavours and aromas surfaced! Every sip hit me with a different ingredient. The first taste and scent I experienced was the chocolate. It was there and it was full. The bitterness of the dark chocolate combined with the sweetness of the whiskey elevated every sip. It was a great experience tasting such a superb quality product.

NOSE Cocoa, vanilla, butterscotch, dark fruit leather, malt, Dots, tropical fruit, orchard fruit, citrus peels and spice. I love everything about this nose, it’s a lovely wave of deep sweets. PALATE Roasted malt, cocoa, vanilla, dark fruit leather, Dots, tropical fruit, orchard fruit, lemon zest and spice with a touch of oak and cereal sweetness The roasty notes in this make it stand apart from everything else Glenmo does, and that’s a good thing here. FINISH Long -> fruity fade with bits of powdered sugar, cocoa, dark fruit and roasted malt.

Bought this for $229 after my dedication to myself to start splurging because the world is ending. Presentation and bottle is BRILLIANT. Nose is Chocolate, burnt chocolate, vanilla, slightly fruity, a sugary lemony coating on something like a bundt cake Palette is fruity malty complex. Leathery. Can really pick up the oak barrel influence. Orangey!!! Dried fruits. Finish is long and dry. Goes on for years. Semi-sweet chocolate chips for days!! Woah! Will need more time to pick apart though. My first love will always be bourbon but this is superb. Really impressed. It feels like dating a completely different girl after your first love broke your heart. Don’t think I’ll be purchasing again for the price.

Great bottle of scotch! Fun to share and well worth the money!
