Lush and herbal, Glenmorangie A Tale Of The Forest is the distillery's first whiskey made from barley kilned with forest plants including juniper berries, birch bark and heather flowers.
Inspired by the ever-changing natural wonder he encounters when hiking in the woods near his home, Director of Whiskey Creation, Dr. Bill Lumsden, an ancient method of infusing barley with botanicals returns to this limited edition release.
Evoking the scents, sounds and sights of the forest, this experimental single malt is truly unique.
There is a hint of background smoke, a sharpness from juniper and some floral notes of lavender and pine, all intertwined with Glenmorangie's signature citrus notes.
These fragrant, wooded depths inspired illustrator Pomme Chan to dream up a fantastical forest, showcased in vivid glory on the label and gift box.
Nose: A green bouquet of pine, juniper and coriander, along with roasted chestnut and an exciting whisper of smoke.
Taste: When you sip, the flavors explode in your mouth - think swirls of peppermint, bursts of eucalyptus and hints of bitter orange, vanilla and licorice, drifting to a slow and delicious finish with lemon, orange and a touch of oak.
