Glenmorangie A Tale Of Forest Limited Edition Whisky

Description

? The Flavor Profile

This unique production method results in a whisky that is distinctly herbal, earthy, and lightly smoky, which is a significant departure from Glenmorangie’s typically sweet and citrusy style.

Glenmorangie A Tale Of Forest Tasting Notes

Note Area	Description
Nose	Highly aromatic and evocative. Aromas of pine needles, fresh juniper, earthy coriander, and a hint of gentle, dry smoke or charcoal. It truly smells like a walk in a damp forest.
Palate	Full-bodied and complex. A burst of peppermint and eucalyptus leads the way, balanced by classic Glenmorangie notes of bitter orange and vanilla sweetness. There is a savoury, slightly medicinal or herbal edge, along with hints of licorice.
Finish	Long, warming, and herbaceous. The finish brings back notes of candied citrus fruits, oaky spice, and the lingering, soft botanical smoke.

? Why It’s Unique

Dr. Bill Lumsden revived an ancient technique of flavoring barley smoke with botanicals to create a whisky that captures a specific sensory experience—a concept he has successfully explored in the series (e.g., the Tokaji finish for A Tale of Cake). The choice of ex-bourbon casks was deliberate, ensuring the botanical-infused spirit remained the focus without being overwhelmed by a heavy finish.
