Glenmorangie A Tale of Spices Limited Edition is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky inspired by the colours, fragrances and sensory richness of spice markets around the world. Released in 2025, it is the sixth bottling in Glenmorangie’s annual “A Tale Of” series, following expressions inspired by cake, winter, forests, Tokyo and ice cream. The whisky was created by Director of Whisky Creation Dr Bill Lumsden and Master Blender Gillian Macdonald as an exploration of how different oak treatments could introduce layered spice, sweetness and perfume. Glenmorangie’s bourbon-aged spirit was divided and finished in four distinctive types of cask before being brought together for the final release.
Moroccan red wine casks crafted from French oak were used by Glenmorangie for the first time, contributing fragrant and sweetly spiced characteristics. New charred oak casks add a deeper, earthier dimension, while shaved and toasted red wine casks introduce nuanced fruit and vinous richness. Pedro Ximénez sherry casks complete the composition with concentrated sweetness and depth. The resulting whisky combines floral aromas of rose and jasmine with cumin, saffron, nutmeg, ginger, black pepper and mustard seed. Softer impressions of mint toffee, demerara sugar and sugar-coated almonds balance the more assertive spices, while eucalyptus provides a distinctive aromatic lift. Bottled at 46% ABV in a 700ml format, this no-age-statement limited edition offers an expressive and unconventional interpretation of Glenmorangie’s elegant Highland style.
