Glenmorangie – A Tale of the Forest

Glenmorangie A Tale of the Forest is a single malt and the distillery's first whisky made from barley kilned with woodland botanicals. Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Whisky Creation, revived an old method of kilning barley with juniper berries, birch bark and heather flowers. The idea came from his walks in the forest near his home. Illustrator Pomme Chan created the forest artwork that appears on the pack. The nose offers pine, juniper and coriander with roasted chestnut and a whisper of smoke. On the palate come peppermint, eucalyptus and bitter orange over vanilla and hints of black liquorice. The finish is slow, with lemon, orange and a soft hint of oak.
