Description
Glenmorangie Spìos, the ninth installment in the esteemed Private Edition series, is a significant milestone as it marks the inaugural occasion where Glenmorangie has undergone complete maturation in American ex-rye whiskey casks. The creative nature of this product is derived from the historical elegance of America’s golden whiskey era, during which American rye whiskey was highly celebrated in the nation’s most esteemed saloons. It possesses a rich and savory flavor profile. The Glenmorangie Spìos, derived from the Scots Gaelic term for ‘spice’ and pronounced as ‘spee-oss,’ serves as a reminiscent embodiment of the refined history of this particular spirit. It graciously allows the distinctive flavors of cinnamon and clove, typically associated with rye, to prominently manifest within the exceptionally smooth character of the Highland Distillery’s single malt whisky. The resulting product is a sophisticated and delicately spiced beverage.
Nose: Fresh and herbal, with hints of cherry, clove, mint toffee and scents of green grass. With water, more perfumed notes emerge, crisp and clean, alongside an inviting herbal complexity.
Palate: Rye’s spice bursts forth on the palate, bringing tastes of toffee, clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg, alongside buttery vanilla.
Finish: Rich, sweet and lingering with more toffee, Brazil nut and a suggestion of citrus.
