Glenmorangie A Tale Of The Forest Scotch Whisky

Glenmorangie's A Tale of the Forest is a fascinating single malt whisky that captures the essence of the forest in a bottle. This innovative expression is crafted using a traditional method that has been brought back to life by Glenmorangie, where barley is kilned with a blend of natural botanicals including juniper berries, birch bark, and heather flowers, with a hint of peat for added depth. This process infuses the whisky with the rich and vibrant flavors of the forest, a nod to the lush woodlands that surround the home of Glenmorangie’s Whisky Creation Director, Dr. Bill Lumsden.

Dr. Lumsden, inspired by the natural beauty and complexity of the forest, aimed to create a whisky that mirrors the sensory experience of being amidst the trees, with their distinctive scents and sounds. To ensure that the delicate flavors of the botanicals remain front and center, the whisky is matured in bourbon casks, including several refill barrels that add subtle nuances without overpowering the botanical character.

The tasting notes reveal a whisky that truly brings the forest to your glass, with aromas of the forest floor, oily pine, and juniper leading the way. It's a unique and memorable dram that showcases Glenmorangie's commitment to innovation and excellence in whisky making​
