Portrait: What defines Glenmorangie A Tale of Spices

Imagine you are standing in a vibrant spice market - All the colors, scents, and stories that float in the air. This is precisely the feeling Glenmorangie has bottled with A Tale of Spices. No, don't worry: You don't have to fly to Morocco to experience this little adventure. Glenmorangie brings the magic directly to your glass - with a touch of Scotland.

There's much more to this whisky than just the art of distilling: The distillery in the Scottish Highlands, famous for its tall stills (yes, the tallest Scots stills in the still business), creates a true cask mosaic with this limited edition. Four different cask types - including rare Moroccan red wine casks, freshly charred oak casks, ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, and toasted red wine casks - make for an exciting cask journey. It's a bit like a spice blend that continually reveals new facets. Dr. Bill and Gillian, whisky innovators with a penchant for the unusual, have created a true explosion of aromas and colors here - without pouring a single spice directly into the glass. Instead, you get the mustard gold hue of the 46% ABV edition. Alcohol, and all without chill filtration - because true craftsmanship isn't chilled.

Fans may remember the seventh Private Edition from 2016 - here's a modern, exciting reinterpretation with the same style of toasted red wine barrels, inviting you into an adventurous whisky story. So: leave your suitcase in the closet, grab a glass - and off you go to the spice market of the senses!

Tasting Notes: This is how the Glenmorangie A Tale of Spices tastes like

• Nose: Spicy and sweet with floral aromas of roses, carnations, jasmine, and lilacs. In the background, the scent is reminiscent of a spice market with aromas of cumin, saffron, nutmeg, ginger, chili, and anise. The bouquet is complemented by sweet oak and chestnut. With a little water, fruity notes, a hint of menthol, and bread dough emerge.
• Palate: On the palate, an intense spice unfolds with ginger, black pepper, mustard seeds, and earthy nuances. The spicy profile is accompanied by a gentle sweetness of mint candies, brown cane sugar, and roasted almonds. A distinct eucalyptus note rounds off the taste experience.
• Finish: The finish is long-lasting with notes of cloves, leather, and fresh mint.
