Glenmorangie
Scotland
Single Malt
The ninth release in Glenmorangie's Private Edition series is the Spìos (which means 'spice' in Scots Gaelic). This flavoursome single malt is notable for being fully matured in casks that previously held rye whiskey! Not just any rye whiskey, mind you. Glenmorangie's Dr. Bill Lumsden picked casks used to age whiskey made from a 95% rye mash bill for six years as the maturation vessels for the Spìos.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Very nice, respectable dram. Tough to follow up on bacalta but this does it for me as someone who enjoys a Rye Whiskey. Very smooth on the palat with a lingering spice finish. Isn't overly complex but doesn't need to be as this isn't something I've tried before or can immediately compare something to. Already looking forward to next year's #10.
Arrived today, together with the Glenmorangie Astar 2017, had a side-by-side tasting. Liked them both but the Astar was better. The Spios was sort of one-dimensional, sweet malt and fudge, a bit of spice builds initially on the palate but dies fast. Just a bit "meh". The lowest wrung on the Private Edition ladder.
Really really disappointed with this one!!! I'm a huge fan of Glenmorangie, and have collected for a fair few years now, always looking forward to the new private editions, i normally buy 2, one for me and one for the shelf. Popped into The Soho Whisky Club last night for a wee dram and oh the disappointment. Its basic, its bland, it just isn't anything special at all, i'd rather pop to tesco and get a bottle of the original, or two for the price! Picked a bottle up for the shelf, but didn't feel the need to buy one for me! Poor show.
