Product description
Lush and deliciously herbal, Glenmorangie A Tale of the Forest is the first whisky created from malted barley dried with forest botanicals.
Inspired by the ever-changing wonders of nature, witnessed during forest walks, this limited edition evokes the aromas, sounds and sights of the forest. Dr. Bill Lumsden has captured the aromas of pine, juniper and wood smoke by returning to the ancient method of drying barley malt with botanists. These fascinating flavours inspired illustrator Pomme Chan to create the image of her dream, fantastical forest, depicted on the whisky packaging.
