This superb expression from Glenmorangie was distilled by a team of 16 distillers known as the 'Sixteen Men of Tain' and was described by Dr. Bill Lumsden (Glenmorangie's Master of Whisky Creation) as the culmination of a "lifetime of experimentation and innovation".
While it carries no age statement, there is said to be an element of some of the distillery's oldest and rarest stocks in this Highland single malt, ranging from 35 to 40 years old. It was distilled twice through Glenmorangie's copper-pot stills, then matured in bespoke American virgin oak casks, before being bottled at 46%, with no chill-filtration.
The hard work clearly paid off, as not only did the Signet win Whisky of the Year, in the same year Lumsden was named Master Distiller of the Year too.
