Glenmorangie Signet Single Malt Scotch Whisky

According to Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s Master of Whisky Creation, Glenmorangie Signet Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the result of a “lifetime” of experimentation and ingenuity. More than 30 years ago, Lumsden started experimenting with the distillation of various types of malted barley that were frequently used to make beer while he was a student at Glasgow University studying Biochemistry and Cell Biology (the barley used to make whisky is traditionally not roasted or caramelized, whereas the barley used to produce beer is) worlds finest casks.

Malted chocolate barley, which is frequently used to make craft brews, and Cadboll malted barley are two distinct varieties of malted barley that are married to manufacture Glenmorangie Signet Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Glenmorangie signets melting sweetness gets its creamy, vanilla flavor from the whisky made from Cadboll malted barley, which is grown on the undulating hills around Glenmorangie Distillery. Lumsden says that the chocolate barley is “the heart of the recipe,” nonetheless. The high-roasted chocolate malt “is tumble roasted in the same way coffee beans would be,” giving the whisky powerful aromas of milk chocolate, cacao beans, and mocha.

The Sixteen Men of Tain are a group of 16 distillers who, after the barley has fermented, distill it twice via Glenmorangie’s copper-pot stills. The comparatively small boiler pots in Glenmorangie’s stills maximize the whisky’s exposure to the copper, giving it a purer flavor. The stills, which are the highest of any distillery in Scotland at about seventeen feet, also result in a lighter, more sophisticated whisky.

The signet Glenmorangie price​ is matured in a number of different casks after distillation. Some of the whisky is aged in brand-new, charred oak casks, while another part is aged in Spanish oak casks that were once used to age sherry. “The charred oak surface gives a very spicy, toasty style of whisky,” claims Lumsden. The “element of our oldest and rarest stocks — Glenmorangie whiskies from 35 years old through to 40 years old,” he continues, is another feature.

The San Francisco World Spirits Competition awarded Glenmorangie Signet Single Malt Scotch Whisky the Double Gold Medal in 2009, 2010, and 2011. Wine Enthusiast gave it a score of 95 points. It also won the International Wine and Spirits Competition’s Best Single Malt Scotch (no age statement) Trophy in 2013.

“Glenmorangie signet price Signet is without doubt the most unusual whisky ever produced in Scotland,” claims Lumsden.

Concerning Glenmorangie Scotch

A brewery was constructed on Morangie Farm in Scotland’s Highlands around 1738. A century later, William Matheson bought the land, renamed the brewery-turned-distillery Glenmorangie, and outfitted the Morangie brewery with two stills he had bought used.

Malted barley is mashed and fermented with water from the Tarlogie Spring to create Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The spring’s water, which is retrieved after filtering through limestone strata for almost a century underground, is remarkably mineral-rich. In order to guarantee steady water quality and a sufficient supply, Glenmorangie signet reserve​ acquired 600 acres of land surrounding and including the spring in the 1980s when local development threatened the spring’s water quality.

A group of 16 distillers known as the Sixteen Men of Tain ferment the barley and then run the wash through Glenmorangie’s copper-pot stills twice. The comparatively small boiler pots in Glenmorangie’s stills maximize the whisky’s exposure to the copper, giving it a purer flavor. The stills, which are the highest of any distillery in Scotland at about seventeen feet, also result in a lighter, more sophisticated whisky.
