The swirls on Glenmorangie's new Signet single malt might resemble a tribal tattoo, but they're actually inspired by the Cadboll Pictish Stone, a mysterious totem dating from the early Middle Ages and originally located on the estate of Glenmorangie House in Ross-shire. Appropriately enough, an air of intrigue surrounds the liquor—the distillery won't say exactly how it's made, but we do know it contains some of the oldest and rarest whiskies found in Glenmorangie's cellars, matured in bespoke casks with rich "high roast" malted barley. The latter imparts strong notes of chocolate and coffee, and the end result is velvety, syrupy succulence. Glenmorangie calls it "the culmination of everything we have learnt during a lifetime of whisky creation." Sounds like hyperbole, of course, but after tasting it, we're inclined to agree.
