Glenmorangie A Tale of the Forest is an innovative single malt, crafted using an ancient method of kilning barley with woodland botanicals. Inspired by Dr. Bill Lumsden’s wanderings through the forest near his home, this is Glenmorangie’s first whisky made with barley infused with botanicals such as juniper berries, birch bark, and heather flowers.
A Forest-Inspired Craft:
Dr. Bill Lumsden has revived an age-old technique of infusing barley with botanicals during the kilning process, bringing the essence of the forest into every sip. The rich, verdant aromas evoke a woodland walk, connecting the drinker with nature’s raw beauty. The whisky’s packaging, illustrated by Pomme Chan, celebrates this forest journey with a fantastical depiction of the whisky’s unique flavor profile.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Aromatic and herbaceous with notes of pine, juniper, and coriander, accompanied by subtle wisps of smoke.
- Palate: A vibrant burst of eucalyptus and fresh green botanicals, balanced with a hint of bitter orange and a gentle oaky undertone.
- Finish: Slow and lingering, with a touch of oak and forest herbs.
