Glenmorangie Spìos

Dramfest `18. Day 2. Had the unfortunate distinction of coming after the Balvanie Portwood 21 which was amazing but still this one redeemed itself well. Interesting dram (for a Glenmorangie), rye, honey and clove and not to oversweet. I don't know if I'd buy a bottle but I'd say 2nd favourite Glenmorangie so far. 4

Rye influence is prominent, bringing on a little spice and edge not normally found in Glenmorangie.

Glenmorangie is one of my favorite distilleries. Smooth sweet Malt. Great stuff. When I heard the new private edition was entirely aged in American Rye whiskey barrels I had to have a bottle. Nose is characteristic of Glenmorangie with a hint of a woody spice. Palate enters smooth and sweet like the 10, but on the finish the rye starts coming through. It's scotch, don't mistake me. But it definitely has a woody spicy finish that lingers. Excellent stuff, a must buy for any Glenmorangie fan. 90-92

Had this at the Glenmorangie tasting event in February 2018. First sip was heavy corn and rye cereal sweetness, followed by complex spice flavors on the next tasting. Interesting, but not really my thing.
