Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream (70cl, 46%)
To create a single malt evocative of a trip to the ice cream parlour, legendary whisky maker Dr Bill Lumsden aged this one-off Glenmorangie in a combination of bourbon barrels and toasted new oak. He carefully selected these new casks with high concentrations of vanillin, an organic compound present in oak which imparts flavours of creamy vanilla. As a result, this inviting Highland whisky is densely layered with notes of coconut, brioche, almonds and popcorn with hints of lemon, sweet anise and – of course – ice cream.
The Glenmorangie ‘A Tale of…’ series expands with another expression that reflects director of whisky creation Dr Bill Lumsden’s sweet tooth. The good doctor was inspired by his favourite ice cream parlour to create this whisky, which is rich, creamy, and full of vanilla flavours.
To achieve this, Lumsden selected casks rich in vanillin, the aromatic compound which brings vanilla flavours to whisky. The good people at Glenmo explain: “When you toast barrels, the lignin (which aids the wood’s structure) breaks down and releases compounds including vanillin. Glenmorangie’s high-vanillin casks were toasted in a particular way, to create higher concentrations of vanillin”.
Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream represents the first time the distillery has used casks toasted to achieve this effect. This followed experimentation with a variety of different woods before selecting virgin oak casks toasted in this particular way. The press release also makes a point of noting that the whisky does not contain vanilla extract. Which would be ILLEGAL in Scotch whisky.

Glenmorangie A Tale of The Forest (70cl, 46%)
If you go down to the woods near Tain… you may well bump into Dr Bill Lumsden, Head of Distilling & Whisky Creation at Glenmorangie. The intrepid Dr Bill loves a morning woodland ramble, and on his regular adventures he’s been inspired to combine the flavours of the forest with his beloved whisky.
By kilning the barley used to make this whisky with juniper, birch bark and heather blossom, Glenmorangie have infused their single malt with the earthy, nutty, vegetal and floral notes that you might encounter in the forest. This is a unique botanical whisky and a welcome reminder that forests are magical places.
Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo (70cl, 46%)
Inspired by visits to Japan, Glenmorangie’s director of distilling and whisky creation, Dr. Bill Lumsden, decided to create this pretty single malt you see before. Glenmorangie’s A Tale Of Tokyo is the fourth release in the ‘Tale of’ series and the first one to be partially aged in Japanese Mizunara oak casks. It’s actually a marriage of whisky aged in both sherry and bourbon barrels as well as Glenmorangie whisky aged in the rare Japanese wood. It was all bottled together at 46% ABV and sports a label and packaging made in collaboration with celebrated Japanese artist, Yamaguchi Akira. It’s their perspective of the city’s contrasts and layers of history and culture that inspired the design.
Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter (70cl, 46%)
A warm and spicy single malt from Glenmorangie that embodies all of the comfort of a Christmas jumper. Matured for 13 years and finished in Marsala wine casks from Sicily, this whisky offers aromas of orange toffee, lavender honey, rose petals and overripe fruits that fill the nose. The palate offers notes of cocoa powder, red pepper, brazil nuts, toffee, white pepper spice, sweet malt, ginger and cinnamon that linger in the finish.

Glenmorangie Artein 15 Year Old Private Edition (70cl, 46%)
The 2012 entry in Glenmorangie’s Private Edition range, named Artein, meaning ‘Stone’. This matches up with the meaning of Sassicaia (from ‘Sasso’, also stone), the ‘Super Tuscan’ wine previously held in the barrels used to finish this whisky. It’s got 15 years old on the label, but it’s actually made up of 2 parts 15 year old to 1 part 21 year old whisky for a solid mix of well matured Glenmorangie.

Glenmorangie Artisan Cask 50cl, 46%
One of the best Glenmorangie releases of the last ten years, this has recently been discontinued and replaced by the hugely popular ‘Astar’ bottling. A terrific ‘Morangie. We have snapped up as much of the remaining stock as we could get our hands on.
Glenmorangie Burgundy Wood Finish (1L, 43%)
Finished in Burgundy barrels, this is one earthy Glenmorangie, an interesting dram for sure, and one that bears little resemblance to the standard bottling.
