Glenmorangie A Tale Of Spices
The Tasting Notes
Spicy, sweet and wonderfully perfumed, with notes of rose, carnation, jasmine and lilac, alongside cumin, saffron, nutmeg, ginger, chilli and anise. Gentle sweet oak and chestnut follow, with delicate fruits and a touch of menthol.
The mouthfeel bursts with sizzling spices - ginger, black pepper and mustard seed, balanced by soft sweetness like mint toffee, demerara sugar and sugar-coated almonds. The whole palate is lifted by a distinct eucalyptus note.
Details
Travelling the world in search of extraordinary casks to bring new flavours to Glenmorangie, Dr Bill has always been drawn to spice markets, with their fragrant aromas and rainbow hues.
Envisioning a whisky infused with such variety, he and Master Blender Gillian Macdonald experimented by finishing bourbon-aged Glenmorangie in four different types of cask for the first time.
Cask Types:
- Never used before at Glenmorangie, Moroccan red wine casks crafted from French oak give this creation mouth-watering layers of sweet spice.
- New charred oak casks add another spicy dimension.
- Shaved, toasted red wine casks offer nuanced, fruity notes.
- Pedro Ximénez sherry casks bring rich, sweet depths.
From this unusual cask combination comes a uniquely complex Glenmorangie – perfumed, sweet, and spicy. A Tale of Spices brims with sweet spice, floral notes of rose and jasmine are lifted by sugar-coated almonds and a distinct eucalyptus note.
