Glenmorangie A Tale Of Tokyo Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
A Whisky born out of Master Distiller Dr Bill Lumsden’s obsession for the culture, fashion and food of Japan. The contradictory and multi-faceted nature of Tokyo inspired Dr Bill to reflect it into a Whisky.
After a decade of searching, Dr Bill finally managed to source some casks from one of Japan’s most sought-after trees, Mizunara oak. The result is a Whisky designed to bottle some of the wonders of Tokyo – multi-faceted, contradictory and always surprising!
Aged in Mizunara, Bourbon and Sherry casks. Dr Bill says: “This liquid is crazy. Its flavour notes are insane, dissonant and impenetrable.”.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Reddish bronze colour ‘like the rising sun’.
Nose
Intense, herbal and pungent, with whispering incense and sweet toffee. A curious herbal top-note evokes saddle-soap or beeswax, then emerging wood resin and a trace of cedar, lending an exotic, resinous depth that hints at Mizunara cask influence.
Palate
A peppery mouthfeel leads into the flavour of chewy oak, fennel or vetiver root, ground white pepper, tangy oranges, bitter cherries, almond and wood resin.
