Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter

Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter is the limited edition whisky following A Tale of Cake. It features single malt aged 13 years, mainly spent in bourbon casks, and then finished in Marsala wine casks for some months. The wine casks were sourced from Sicily. The target of Bill Lumsden is to evoke the sensations generated by a late evening in front of a fireplace when snow is falling down outside.

TASTING NOTES - GLENMORANGIE A TALE OF WINTER

Nose

Direct and very sweet, welcoming and comfortable. The influence of the Marsala casks is not shy at all, with a rather sweet winey character, which soon develops into very ripe yellow and stone fruit. At times the aromas are slightly too "floral perfume" oriented. Honey, raisin and very sweet chocolate biscuits are completing the palette.

Palate

Less sweet than the nose, with a mild sweet spicy component which is quite successful in warming up. Nuts covered by chestnut honey. Distant coconut hints. A touch of ginger, refreshing.

Finish

Medium-long, slightly more acidic than the entrance of the palate, with some suggestions of citrus (semi-sweet orange zest). Again a touch of ginger and cinnamon.

Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter is a single malt whisky with different components in the fruition; while the nose is quite sweet, sometimes deviating into perfumery notes, the palate is rather intense and varied, with a not trivial spicy character, providing an interesting experience. Extra notes of coconut and the orange zest finish help to make the fruition more dynamic. Not just sweet and welcoming, a late evening in front of the fireplace not only watching the flames...
