    Glenmorangie 10 was one of my first scotches. Then I had the Signet and the 18 and those are some of my favorites now. Always an extra bottle in stock especially since I can't get them normally here in Canada. The Quinta Ruban is great, and more accessible. I want to try the Nectar D'Or next when I can pick it up in the US (again, not available in my area). The 10 is still nostalgic and great for its price; even after trying a lot more scotch now.

      Thank you for sharing! I saw a bottle of Signet in a duty-free shop in Cyprus yesterday, but couldn't justify buying it. My wife and I are only here for a month. Cheers!

    Thanks for the good vibes again pall I have being to the Distillery glenmorangie its very good and deserves recognition as the 10 year old is a Audible to the average working person as and is very easy-going and not overpriced between 22and 30 pound Depending on promotion

      Thanks. I would have loved to have visited the Glenmorangie Distillery during our recent trip (ua-cam.com/video/0vgmmLMHXV0/v-deo.html), but we didn't make it that far north. Cheers!

    Great breakdown. I am a little jealous of that bottle of Signet. One day, I hope to bring it home! The Nectar D'Or is on the shelf and I hope to review it soon. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

    Age always offers something NEW and different : the spirit penetrate deeper into the staves/wood, thus extracting more of somehting unkown from the younger version, especially above 21-25 yrs. Signet = Nice !

      Agreed. Age changes flavors and some people like the bite of a young expression and some like the more complex aged whiskies. Cheers!

    Two great drams....it's a pitty that The Signet is so expensive...had a bottle a couple of years ago and I almost cried when I took the last dram. Glenmorangie is one of my favorite destillery...they almost always deliver great whisky...I've been disapointed only once, and it was one of the limited editions, Spios...didn't like it very much, the nose was ok but tastewise...no.
    My favorite Glenmorangie is Signet, The 18yo, Quinta Ruban 12yo and Alta.......almost forgott....The 10yo, my favorite every day dram.

    I had several bottles of Sauternes wine, couple as expensive as Signet, probably my favorite wine other than Tokaji Aszu, and I can honestly say D'Or is a bitter disappointment. I didn't feel any connection to Sauternes wine at all. It's drinkable, but nothing to be excited about.
    Signet on the other hand is totally worth the price (140 eur). Excellent whiskey. I'm trying to stretch my bottle for as long as I can )))

      It's so hard to not open the Signet all the time. I've totally been nursing that bottle. Cheers!
