✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by Glenmorangie's Director of Whisky Creation, Dr. Bill Lumsden, 'A Tale of Tokyo' is an innovative Highland single malt Scotch whisky inspired by the vibrant contrasts of Japan's capital. This expression is a masterclass in wood management, marrying Glenmorangie aged in traditional Bourbon and Sherry casks with spirit finished in rare, highly sought-after Japanese Mizunara oak. Mizunara trees take up to 200 years to mature and are notoriously difficult for cooperage due to their porous, knotty nature, yet they impart a legendary aromatic profile. The resulting whisky beautifully juxtaposes the distillery's signature heather honey and citrus elegance with exotic notes of sandalwood, incense, sweet ginger, and bitter cherry, capturing the sensory collision of Tokyo's bustling neon streets and serene temple gardens.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
William Matheson grundlagde Glenmorangie i 1843 ved de fredfyldte bredder af Dornoch Firth i Ross-shire, og destilleriet regnes i dag for et uomgængeligt pejlemærke inden for Highland single malt Scotch whisky. Huset udmærker sig ved Skotlands højeste svanehals-kedler af kobber på over fem meter. Den imponerende højde sikrer en forlænget kobberkontakt og massiv refluks, hvilket skaber et usædvanligt let, floralt og citrusdrevet destillat. Det mineralrige, hårde kildevand fra de historiske Tarlogie Springs er ligeledes med til at definere whiskyens særpræg. Under ledelse af Moët Hennessy og den visionære Dr. Bill Lumsden har Glenmorangie været pionerer inden for fadlagring og sekundær modning på sauternes-, portvins- og sherryfade. Foruden klassiske milepæle som The Original og The Nectar står destilleriet bag højt værdsatte, komplekse kreationer som Signet, Pride og den eksklusive årgangsserie Bond House No. 1 Collection, hvor Highland-elegance og nyskabende fadstyring forenes til fuldkommenhed.
