Tasting Notes

Glenmorangie Spice is characterized by its alluring mustard gold color and a complex aroma filled with spicy and sweet notes reminiscent of roses, carnations, and jasmine. Hints of cumin, saffron, nutmeg, ginger, and chili complement a gentle sweetness of oak and chestnuts. Adding water reveals delicate fruity hints with a subtle menthol scent.

On the palate, expect an explosion of invigorating spices like ginger and black pepper, balanced by a soft sweetness found in mint toffee and Demerara sugar, all lifted by a unique eucalyptus flavor. The finish provides lingering hints of clove, leather, and peppermint.
