Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter 2021 70cl 46°
Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter is the distillery's new 2021 limited edition. This new Single Malt was imagined by the Distillery's Creative Director of Whiskey, Dr. Bill, with the ambition to capture the unique and magical sensation one feels when one is comfortably seated in front of the fireplace as snow covers the outside landscape.
This 13-year-old whisky develops rich notes and aromas reminiscent of winter. It finished Its ageing in barrels of Marsala wine from Sicily.
The tasting begins with light notes of fruit and honey, which are then accompanied by a torrent of coco powder, red pepper flakes and pieces of Brazil nut caramel. The endless finish lets the spices swirl with passion: cinnamon, ginger, cloves.
A warm expression with lively and vibrant flavours.

The Glenmorangie distillery operates with the tallest Pot Stills of Scotland (5.13m). This is the size of an adult giraffe!
These stills with spherical compartments (boil ball) play a decisive role in the crafting of the light and subtle Glenmorangie character. Only the lightest alcoholic vapours are collected. The spring waters used by the distillery are naturally filtered through limestone and impart Glenmorangie with its spicy character. The aged versions are increasingly powerful and develop delicate vanilla notes.
Glenmorangie is today an extraordinary pioneer in the art & science of oak cask maturation, and offers a spectacular choice of special finishes. Glenmorangie has a very strict policy and uses only first and second fill barrels, a process that magnifies the layers of flavours. The Glenmorangie distillate ages in ex-Bourbon, American white oak casks for at least 10 years. Glenmorangie collects a share from the ex-Bourbon casks and transfers it into casks that previously contained other alcohols or wines, thus extending the maturation: this is the “wood finish”. The use of casks that previously contained Sherry, Port, Madeira wines or Bourgogne wines maintains the essential balance of Glenmorangie whisky, while imparting intriguing characteristics to the spirit.
The art of cask maturation at Glenmorangie has been influenced by more than 25 years of research, enabling the Master Distiller to find the perfect casks for the Single Malts, and acquire the reputation of an expert amongst the circles of whisky maturation experts.
