GLENMORANGIE - A Tale of Ice Cream - High Vanillin Casks and Bourbon Casks - 46%
Glenmorangie is located north of the town of Tain, in Ross-shire, in the heart of the famous Highlands region of Scotland. Originally a brewery, this iconic distillery was completely redesigned in 1843 to focus on whisky production. A pioneer in export, Glenmorangie established itself early on in international markets, especially in the United States. However, the Prohibition period forced the distillery to temporarily close between 1931 and 1936. Today, Glenmorangie belongs to the Glenmorangie Company, a prestigious subsidiary of the LVMH group. With its six wash backs and six spirit stills, it produces about 6 million liters per year, making it one of the largest and most renowned Scottish distilleries.
Each expression of Glenmorangie is aged in white oak casks sourced from Glenmorangie's own private forest, located in the Ozarks of Missouri in the United States. These barrels are then leased to prestigious distilleries such as Jack Daniel's and Heaven Hill, which store their Bourbon in them before these casks are sent back to Scotland. Innovative, Glenmorangie was among the first distilleries to create unique wood finishes, offering complex aromatic profiles where the whisky benefits from a second maturation in barrels with different characteristics.
The Glenmorangie "A Tale of..." range is enriched with a gourmet expression that reflects the passion of the creative director, Dr. Bill Lumsden: A Tale of Ice Cream. This exclusive edition highlights high-vanillin casks, the precious aromatic component responsible for the delicate natural vanilla notes of the whisky. These high-vanillin casks are carefully toasted using a unique process that intensifies the vanillin concentration, giving this expression remarkable sweetness and indulgence.
