Glenmorangie A Tale of Spices

Envisioning a whisky infused with such variety, Dr. Bill Lumsden and Head Blender Gillian MacDonald experimented by finishing bourbon-aged Glenmorangie in four different types of cask for the first time.

Casking:

• 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.

Producer's Tasting Notes

Nose: 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.

Palate: 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.

Finish: It concludes with a slow and luscious finish.
