Glenmorangie Signet

Had a dram during October 19, 2016 Glenmorangie tasting event with Dr Bill Lumsden! Never in my life I had a whisky that have such rich chocolaty on the nose! Follow with smell of coffee and malt. First sip, dark chocolate, expresso and some spices! Hmm.. maybe a hint of orange? Definitely my favourite Glenmorangie whisky~

Had it neat. Nose - Rich, Cream, Malt, Chocolate. Palate - Same, but dark chocolate plus expresso coffee, intense and smooth! Some spice too! Complex to say the least.. Finish - Very long! Slight citrus, mint. Overall, what a unique whisky. One of my favourites to date! Delicious.

Stumbled upon this while waiting for my key at The Mallard Lounge at the Fairmont Chateau in Whistler. Only a handful of cases in all of BC. Can't recall a scotch ever presenting so chocolatey on the nose. With a sip, the familiar Glenmorangie is there in the background, but likely owing to the 30 year base the flavour is so much more balanced. For such a unique "roasting" of the malt there's nary a toasted or burnt taste. Worth the experience, but likely wouldn't go out of my way for a bottle.
