Glenmorangie is a renowned Scottish whisky distillery located in Tain, Ross-shire, Scotland. Founded in 1843, it has a rich history that contributes to its prestigious reputation in the whisky world. The distillery is particularly noted for its innovation and dedication to crafting high-quality single malt whiskies.
Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo is a unique single malt Scotch whisky inspired by the vibrant and contrasting city of Tokyo. This limited edition whisky is partially matured in rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks, alongside traditional ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, giving it a distinctive flavor profile that encapsulates both Scottish craftsmanship and Japanese tradition.
Nose:
The aroma opens with a bouquet of cocoa powder and dark chocolate, complemented by crisp notes of green apples and lemon peel. There's also a fresh, citrusy undertone with hints of chalk, clay, and freshly-sawn pinewood.
Palate:
The palate offers a complex mix of fruity and spicy elements, where the spicy Mizunara oak makes a notable impression. Flavors of peanut shells, waxy hay, and tannic wood blend with juicy fruits like melons, peaches, and small bananas. The influence of Mizunara introduces a spearmint freshness, enriching the whisky's profile.
Finish:
The finish is short but vibrant, where the Mizunara cask's characteristics shine the brightest. Expect notes of spicy oak, white pepper, sandalwood, and incense, leaving a lasting impression.
