The Glenmorangie distillery, founded in 1843 in the Scottish Highlands near Tain, is famous for its exquisite single malt Scotch whiskies. These are distilled in the highest stills in Scotland, resulting in a particularly fine and mild distillate. Glenmorangie is known for its innovative cask finishing technique, which matures whiskies in different types of casks such as port, sherry and wine casks, giving them a unique depth of flavor.
Glenmorangie also has a strong focus on sustainability, with initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions and reuse water, making the distillery a pioneer not only in the whisky industry but also in global spirits production. The distillery remains true to its heritage while continuously working to minimize its environmental footprint while maintaining the quality of its whiskies.
'Spìos', the Gaelic word for 'spice', aptly reflects the spicy character and sophistication of Glenmorangie SPÌOS Private Edition No. 9. This special edition pays homage to the golden age of American rye whiskeys and combines the distinctive rye flavors of cinnamon and cloves with the subtle, characteristic notes of Glenmorangie.
The maturation of the single malt in Glenmorangie's characteristic copper stills, followed by a further phase in carefully selected, single-use Kentucky rye whiskey casks, gives the whisky exceptional depth. This skillful marriage of flavours results in a unique whisky that combines the spicy elegance of rye whiskey with the smoothness and complexity of Glenmorangie.
Glenmorangie SPÌOS thus offers an incomparable taste experience that honors both the tradition of American rye whiskeys and the Scottish art of distillation.
