Glenmorangie Spios Private Edition No. 9 is a limited edition Highland single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, Scotch Whiskey. It is the ninth release in the Glenmorangie Private Edition series, which showcases the distillery’s innovative spirit and expertise in cask management. “Spios” is the Gaelic word for “spice,” and this whisky is named after the rare, bespoke rye casks from the mountains of Missouri, USA, in which it is aged. These casks impart a spicy character to the whisky, making it a unique addition to Glenmorangie’s range. The Glenmorangie Spios has a warm, golden color and a complex aroma with notes of baking spices, vanilla, and citrus. On the palate, it is rich and spicy with flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and toasted oak. The finish is long and warming with a spicy kick. This whisky is aged in ex-rye casks and is bottled at 46% ABV. It is a bold and flavorful whisky with a spicy, warming character. It pairs well with savory dishes like grilled meats, strong cheeses, and spicy Asian cuisine.
