Glenmorangie Sp\u00ecos (Scots Gaelic for \u2018spice\u2019, pronounced spee-oss), a no-age-statement single malt, has been matured fully in first-fill American oak casks that previously contained rye whiskey.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The expression \u2013 the ninth in the distillery\u2019s Private Edition series \u2013 was inspired by Dr Bill Lumsden\u2019s trips to the few Kentucky distilleries producing rye whiskey during the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Glenmorangie\u2019s director of distilling, whisky creation and whisky stocks said: \u2018I have always loved American rye whiskey\u2019s spicy character, and I believed our smooth house style would perfectly complement the nuances of ex-rye casks.\u2019<\/p>\n

Lumsden sourced the casks to mature Glenmorangie\u2019s spirit several years ahead of the current resurgence in rye whiskey that has seen it become a staple pour behind bars around the world. The spirit forms the base in many popular whisky cocktails, including the Sazerac, Manhattan and Old Fashioned.<\/p>\n

The 46% abv, non-chill-filtered expression is described as being a \u2018full-bodied, savoury single malt which brings to mind American rye whiskey\u2019s golden age\u2019.<\/p>\n

Lumsden added Sp\u00ecos features notes of \u2018cherry, clove and scents of green grass\u2019 on the nose, while \u2018the rye\u2019s spice bursts onto the palate, as toffee, clove and cinnamon mingle with buttery vanilla, before a sweet and lingering finish\u2019.<\/p>\n

Glenmorangie Sp\u00ecos will be available at specialist retailers worldwide for around \u00a379.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Glenmorangie Private Edition range is an annually released series of limited edition malts that explore the boundaries of whisky flavour through the use of cask finishes, barley varieties and malt roasting levels, among other innovations.<\/p>\n

Glenmorangie Sp\u00ecos follows last year\u2019s Private Edition release of Glenmorangie Bacalta, a no age statement single malt finished in Madeira wine casks. Other expressions released in the series include Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX, Finealta, Artein, Ealanta, Companta, T\u00f9sail, and Milsean. Recently the distillery unveiled a duty-free exclusive whisky – the Cadboll (see story<\/a>).<\/p>\n
