Description
Glenmorangie A Tale of Forest is unlike anything the Highland distillery has released before. A bold foray into the untamed, this limited edition expression is inspired by the aromas, textures, and mystery of the natural world. Instead of traditional peat or standard kiln methods, the barley has been dried with a blend of woodland botanicals — including juniper berries, birch bark, and heather flowers — a practice almost unheard of in modern Scotch whisky.
The result is aromatic and herbaceous, with an inviting nose of pine needles, roasted nuts, eucalyptus, and a faint memory of woodsmoke. On the palate, it’s lively and green, with flavours of nettle, coriander leaf, toasted oak, and a surprising flash of orange peel. The mouthfeel is bright and playful, with a gentle earthy undertone that keeps it grounded.
The finish is softly spiced with lingering woodland notes — mossy, resinous, and fresh. This is Glenmorangie viewed through a more primal lens, less about refinement and more about rediscovery.
A must-try for those seeking something imaginative and outside the expected spectrum of Scotch. Ideal for nature lovers, curious collectors, or anyone looking to experience whisky through a different lens entirely.
