Part of Glenmorangies adventurous A Tale Of series, A Tale of Spices is a more daring expression that channels the vibrancy, scent, and character of a spice market. Dr. Bill Lumsden and Master Blender Gillian Macdonald push the envelope here with four different cask finishes Moroccan red wine casks, new charred oak, Pedro Ximnez sherry, and shaved/toasted red wine casks to weave a tapestry of spice, oak, and sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Warm amber with gilded bronze hues.

Nose: Perfumed and exotic: rose, jasmine, carnation mingle with cumin, nutmeg, saffron, chilli, and a whisper of preserved lemon. Vanilla and chocolate emerge in the backdrop to support the spice.

Palate: Creamy texture with intense spice influence. Ginger, black pepper, pink peppercorns, and mustard seed drive the flavour, balanced by sugar-coated almonds, toffee, delicate eucalyptus, and a marmalade base.

Finish
Lingering and layered: oak spices remain alongside clove, leather, peppermint, and a soft warmth that fades with elegance

Collectors Note

This is a standout in the A Tale Of series, ideal for collectors and whisky adventurers alike. Its bold cask recipe, expressive spice profile, and limited-edition character make it a conversation piece as much as a sipping dram. It appeals to both fans of Glenmorangies signature elegance and those seeking something new and daring.
