Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch Whiskey - A Tale Of Spices
Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch Whiskey - A Tale Of Spices
Glenmorangie A Tale of Spices is a vibrant and daring creation inspired by the sensory explosion of global spice markets. Born from Dr. Bill Lumsden's travels and fascination with exotic aromas and hues, this expression showcases Glenmorangie’s mastery in cask finishing and flavor innovation.
For the first time, Glenmorangie has used a four-cask finish to craft this limited-edition whiskey:
- French oak Moroccan red wine casks impart mouth-watering layers of sweet spice.
- New charred oak casks lend deep, toasty spice.
- Shaved and toasted red wine casks bring nuance and subtle fruitiness.
- Pedro Ximénez sherry casks contribute rich, treacly sweetness.
The result is a perfumed, spicy, and sweet single malt that reveals Glenmorangie in an entirely new light — one that glows with adventure and discovery.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This bottle suits the adventurous palate: the friend who comes home from trips with jars of saffron, or the colleague who cooks a new cuisine every weekend. Inspired by Dr. Bill Lumsden's fascination with global spice markets, this limited-edition Highland single malt is Glenmorangie's first to use a four-cask finish. It draws on French oak Moroccan red wine casks, new charred oak, shaved and toasted red wine casks, and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The nose opens with rose petals, jasmine and lilac woven through cumin, nutmeg, saffron and anise. On the palate, a bold burst of ginger, black pepper and mustard seed is softened by mint toffee, demerara sugar and sugar-coated almonds. A lift of eucalyptus keeps it elegant, and the long finish lingers on spiced nuts and dried fruit. It makes a considered gift for a promotion, a milestone birthday or a dinner host who loves bold flavors. It rewards slow sipping, neat or with a few drops of water in a tulip glass.
Pairs well with
- Moroccan tagine or spiced lamb — The whisky's cumin, ginger and saffron notes echo the warm spices of the dish, while its toffee sweetness rounds out the savory depth.
- Chocolate-orange desserts — Demerara sugar and treacly sherry-cask sweetness meet rich chocolate, and the spice keeps each sip lively.
- Celebrating a colleague's promotion — A limited-edition, first-of-its-kind four-cask finish feels like a fitting toast to someone stepping into something new and adventurous.
Questions about this bottle
What makes the cask finish on A Tale of Spices unusual?
It is the first time Glenmorangie has used a four-cask finish. French oak Moroccan red wine casks add sweet spice, and new charred oak brings toasty depth. Shaved and toasted red wine casks add subtle fruit, and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks contribute rich, treacly sweetness.
What does it taste like?
Expect a perfumed nose of rose, jasmine and lilac with cumin, nutmeg, saffron and anise. The palate brings ginger, black pepper and mustard seed, balanced by mint toffee, demerara sugar and sugar-coated almonds, with a cooling lift of eucalyptus. The finish is long, with spiced nuts and dried fruit.
How should I drink it?
It is best savored neat in a crystal tumbler or tulip glass to focus its intense aromas. A few drops of water soften the spice and reveal more delicate floral notes, expanding the aromatic profile.
Does it carry an age statement, and what size is the bottle?
No, it is a no-age-statement single malt. Its character comes from the four-cask finish rather than a stated age. The bottle is 750 ml, and it is a limited-edition release from Glenmorangie Distillery in the Scottish Highlands.
