Glenmorangie Spios
Glenmorangie Spìos is a distinctive, spice‑driven single malt that stands out in the Private Edition series for its full maturation in American rye whiskey casks. This unusual choice brings a bold, aromatic character to Glenmorangie’s typically elegant Highland style, resulting in a whisky with vibrant complexity and a lively, peppery edge. The aroma is bright and inviting, with notes of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and sweet vanilla layered over hints of citrus peel and creamy toffee. On the palate, it’s smooth yet energetic, opening with warming rye spice before developing flavours of ginger, toasted oak, buttery pastry and subtle herbal undertones. The texture remains refined throughout, with Glenmorangie’s signature silkiness balancing the bolder spice notes. The finish is long, warming and gently peppery, leaving lingering impressions of sweet baking spice and soft oak. A characterful and expressive release that showcases how rye cask influence can bring a fresh dimension to a classic Highland malt, offering both richness and vibrancy in equal measure.
Old Pulteney Port Cask Coastal Series Scotch Whisky
Old Pulteney Port is the second expression in The Coastal Series, a masterful marriage of Speyside single malt whisky and Ruby Port from Portugal’s Douro Valley. Initially matured in American oak on the windswept Caithness Coast, the whisky is then transferred into hand-selected Ruby Port pipes and barriques, absorbing the rich, sweet flavours of the fortified wine. The result is a fragrant, fruity and richly layered Maritime Malt that beautifully balances coastal minerality with sweet and spicy notes. In the glass, Old Pulteney Port appears rose gold with peach highlights. The nose is aromatic and inviting, revealing dried fruits, sultanas, buttery vanilla, candied orange peel, hints of gingerbread and undertones of cherries, marzipan and dark chocolate. On the palate, baked apples, caramelised sugar and cinnamon swirl pastries give way to creamy vanilla custard, rose water and the signature briny minerality of The Maritime Malt. This develops into warm spices, plum jam sweetness and delicate fruity notes, finishing long, smooth and perfectly balanced. Old Pulteney Port celebrates the coastal heritage of both whisky and wine, bringing together centuries of craftsmanship from Wick in the Scottish Highlands and the Douro Valley. This expression is ideal for those seeking a rich, complex single malt that highlights the influence of both the sea and port cask maturation, making it a remarkable gift or indulgent treat.
