his superb Glenmorangie was created with a marriage of whiskies produced from two unique types of malted barley: a single estate Cadboll variety and malted chocolate barley, which is better known as a basis for craft beers. The Signet was distilled twice through Glenmorangie's copper-pot stills, by a team of 16 distillers known as the 'Sixteen Men of Tain'. It was subsequently matured in bespoke American virgin oak casks before it was bottled at 46%, and received no chill-filtration. While it carries no-age-statement, there is said to be an element of some of the distillery's oldest and rarest stocks, ranging from 35 to 40 years old, in this Highland single malt. Learn More

Aged three years in barrel and one year in bottle prior to release, this Stags Leap District wine exhibits a pleasing overall balance of extract and elegance. Learn More

A chameleon of aromas and flavors, dry yet generous, a refreshing, versatile white that you'll find works well with just about anything. Learn More
