Glenmorangie
A Tale OF Winter is a 13 year old
Marsala wine cask finished winter warmer
from the creative folks at Glenmorangie.
 Here
is a winter warmer from
Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky
Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden. Snowed in at
home, Dr Bill began dreaming of a whisky
that captured the cosiness of wrapping
up in a winter jumper, while the world
outside is white.
Well Glenmorangie A Tale Of Winter is
the result of Dr Bills imagination
brought to life by his whisky creation
skills. The new whisky is said to be
swirling with wintry aromas and tastes,
Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter brings Dr
Bill Lumsden’s deliciously snug feeling
to life. Finished in Marsala wine casks
from Sicily, this richly radiant 13 year
old single malt Scotch whisky bursts
with fruit and honey, cocoa dust and
spice. The limited edition’s bright,
vivid flavours have inspired a series of
delicious wintry drinks, easy to make at
home.
Led by Dr Bill, known for his “What
if...?” approach, Glenmorangie’s whisky
creators are endlessly imaginative on
their quest to dream up delicious
whiskies. They craft their delicate,
fruity spirit in stills as tall as a
giraffe to allow more space for taste
and aroma. Then they age it in the
finest casks, all to bring joy to whisky
lovers old and new. Some years ago, Dr
Bill pulled on his most colourful winter
knit at home in Scotland after a
gloriously heavy snowfall. And he began
to wonder... what if he could capture
the joy of cosy moments indoors by the
fire, while snow lay all around?
With this wintry whisky in mind, Dr Bill
took a parcel of Glenmorangie mellowed
in bourbon casks and finished it in
casks which once held Sicily’s fortified
Marsala wine – loved for its sweet and
fruity flavours. The limited edition he
created enfolds the senses in fruit,
honey and Brazil-nut toffee, knitted
together with cinnamon, ginger and
clove.
Inspired by the whisky’s warm, rich
flavours, Glenmorangie has created a
series of hot and cold wintry drinks,
easy to make at home. They include a
Winter Old Fashioned made with the
limited edition, a bold and velvety
Quinta Ruban Hot Chocolate, as well as a
Pumpkin Scotch Latte showcasing the
Highland Distillery’s smooth, rounded
signature single malt Glenmorangie
Original.
Dr Bill said: "We all know the delight
of snuggling up in a winter jumper by
the fire, when it’s snowy outside. With
flavours as bright and vivid as my
favourite woollen sweater, Glenmorangie
A Tale of Winter deliciously captures
those magical, cosy moments. The
experience begins with light flurries of
fruit and honey, building to torrents of
cocoa dust, flakes of red pepper and
chunks of Brazil-nut toffee. It
culminates in a feels-like-forever
finish that swirls with cinnamon, ginger
and clove."
Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter will be
available in the UK from November
with a RRP of £75, you will find it available to
purchase from specialist online whisky
retailers such as

Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter Review
|
Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter is non
chill-filtered and bottled at 46% ABV.
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Curious and slightly sharp, with the
classic Marsala top-note of slightly
oxidised fruits. Hints of orange toffee
intermingles with a fragrant top note of
lavender honey and sweet rose. With
water, some caramelised fruits (oranges
& pears) emerge, along with a hint of
sandalwood, brazil nut and hint of pine
sap.
Taste:
A juicy viscous, but slightly peppery
mouthfeel, leads to a burst of sweet,
nutty flavours – cocoa powder, red
pepper, Brazil nut toffee and sweet
barley malt. Sweet Demerara sugar and a
long lingering spicy aftertaste of
clove, ginger and cinnamon.
