Glenmorangie A Tale of Spices Whisky 70cl

Big, cosy spice and bright citrus in the same sip, this one’s for anyone bored of “vanilla and oak” as a whole personality. Glenmorangie’s A Tale of Spices is a Highland single malt that drinks like your favourite winter baking drawer, but with enough orange and honey to keep it lively.

If you like your whisky with warmth and flavour you can actually point to, this is a fun step away from the usual easy sippers. It’s still approachable, but it brings a spicy twist that makes your next pour feel like a new playlist, not the same old track.

• Nose: Cinnamon toast, clove, orange peel, honey, and a hint of toasted nuts
• Taste: Ginger heat, baked apple, sweet malt, and a gentle peppery tingle that builds with each sip
• Finish: Long and warming, like spiced biscuit crumbs and lingering citrus zest

How to drink it: start neat to catch the full spice swirl, then add a few drops of water to open up more orange and honey. Want a cocktail? This makes a killer Spiced Old Fashioned, think sugar, bitters, and an orange twist, because the whisky already brings the “spice rack” energy.

If Glenfiddich 12 is your comfort zone, this is one shelf over in vibe. Same friendly single malt feel, just with way more cinnamon-and-orange personality and a finish that actually hangs around.

This is also a great bottle for converting “I only drink whisky with cola” friends. The spice gives them something familiar to latch onto, and the citrus keeps it from feeling heavy.

Fun Fact: “A Tale Of…” is Glenmorangie’s playful series where they let the whisky team get weird (in a good way) and build a whole flavour story around one big idea, and here, that idea is spice.
