Glenmorangie A Tale Of Winter Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 46% Age: 13+ Years Country: Scotland
Dr Bill Lumsden has been at the helm of the Glenmorangie distillery for a quarter of a century. He has brought consistency, excitement and innovation not only to this distillery but the whisky community. With releases like Glenmorangie Signet and Glenmorangie Balcalta and we can’t forget the Glenmorangie Allta to name a few.
Dr. Lumsden decided to collect Glenmorangie whisky that had been matured in ex-bourbon American oak barrels for over 13 years and finish it in ex-Marsala casks from Sicily. He wanted to create something that had a warm and magical feel. Something to replicate the magic of winter but in a glass.
“Snowed in at home, our Director of Whisky Creation, Dr. Bill, began dreaming of this whisky. His goal was to capture the snug and magical feeling of sitting in front of the fireplace as snow blankets the world outside.” – Glenmorangie
The Glenmorangie Tale of Winter is a lovely dram, balanced and full of warm, fruity, sweet notes with some underlying darker notes that resemble spiced fruity candy oil. Bottled at 46% with no colouring or chill-filtration.
