Glenmorangie – A Tale of Cake (70cl, 46%)

Glenmorangie A Tale of Cake is a limited edition single malt bottled at 46% ABV. It spent ten years in ex-bourbon casks and was then finished in Hungarian Tokaji casks. The idea came from Dr Bill, who set out to capture the pleasure of a perfect slice of cake in liquid form, and the packaging is styled after cake boxes. The nose offers passion fruit, peach, pear and mango, with fresh bread, soft oak, honeycomb, vanilla, almond and a little milk chocolate. The palate is rich and tangy at once, with honey, white chocolate, apricot, almond, vanilla and pear. The finish is sweet, with honeycomb, chocolate almonds and pecans.
