✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the wind-swept Highlands of Scotland, Glenmorangie's 'A Tale of Ice Cream' is a whimsical single malt Scotch whisky crafted by the legendary Dr. Bill Lumsden. Inspired by the decadent, nostalgic sensory experience of an ice cream parlor, this expression showcases Glenmorangie's signature delicate spirit—distilled in Scotland's tallest copper pot stills, which are as tall as an adult giraffe. To capture the lush, creamy, and sweet dessert-like profile, the spirit was matured in specially selected high-vanillin virgin oak casks alongside classic bourbon casks. This unique maturation coaxes out rich notes of peach Melba, vanilla pod, coconut, and honeycomb, celebrating the distillery's historic heritage of wood experimentation dating back to its founding in 1843.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by William Matheson on the tranquil shores of the Dornoch Firth in Ross-shire, Glenmorangie stands as a benchmark of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is distinguished by its use of Scotland's tallest copper pot stills—rising over five meters—which foster prolonged copper contact and reflux, yielding an exceptionally delicate, floral, and citrus-forward spirit. Mineral-rich, hard water sourced from the historic Tarlogie Springs further shapes its distinct profile. Under the innovative stewardship of Dr. Bill Lumsden and owner Moët Hennessy, Glenmorangie pioneered secondary wood finishing in Sauternes, Port, and Sherry casks. Beyond core benchmarks like The Original and The Nectar, the house crafts revered, complex expressions such as Signet, Pride, and the vintage Bond House No. 1 Collection, balancing Highland elegance with cutting-edge wood management.
