Glenmorangie Spios

Taking its name from the Gaelic for 'spice', Glenmorangie Spìos (that's 'spee-oss') is the ninth release in the Private Edition series from the Highland distillery and is the first single malt to be completely matured in American ex-rye whiskey casks. Spìos is free from chill-filtration and bottled at a strength of 46% abv.Fresh and herbal on the nose, with notes of cherry, mint toffee and cloves before freshly cut green grass. The palate brings a burst of rye spice, earning Spìos its Gaelic name, before clove, toffee, cinnamon and nutmeg emerge with sweet vanilla. The finish is rich and sweet with toffee, Brazil nuts and a citrus tang lingering.
