Inspired by Snowy Days Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter was born from Dr. Bill Lumsden’s desire to capture the snug feeling of sitting by a fire while snow falls outside. To bring this vision to life, he took the classic Glenmorangie spirit—known for its light and citrusy character—and gave it a unique finish in Marsala wine casks. These casks, sourced from the sun-drenched island of Sicily, are famous for producing fortified wines with deep, syrupy fruit notes.
The Marsala Finish The extra-maturation in Marsala casks has transformed the whisky into a kaleidoscopic array of winter flavors. It retains the distillery’s elegance but adds a layer of decadent sweetness and complexity. The result is a single malt that feels like a celebration, making it the perfect companion for the colder months or as a centerpiece for a holiday gathering.
Official Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Curious and aromatic. Notes of fruitcake, honey, and cocoa dust are followed by a citrus zing of orange toffee and a hint of lavender.
-
Palate: A viscous, mouth-coating texture leads to an explosion of sweet, nutty flavors—cocoa powder, red pepper, and chunks of brazil nut toffee. This is balanced by sweet barley malt and a touch of clove.
-
Finish: A long and lingering aftertaste featuring more ginger, cinnamon, and a final flourish of toasted oak.
A Limited Edition Masterpiece The bottle is presented in a strikingly vibrant box that mimics the knit of a traditional winter sweater, reflecting the “cozy” theme of the liquid inside. At R2,999.00, this limited edition is a standout addition to the “A Tale of” series and a must-have for those who appreciate the art of unique cask finishing.
