Glenmorangie Tale of Forest

Our 2022 Wonder Maker Limited Edition is a liquid with a captivating story, driven by a true innovation. A whisky, infused with natural botanicals (juniper berries, birch wood and heather) during the kilning process, bringing flavours of peppermint, menthol, eucalyptus, pine, wood sap, angelica, bitter orange and a hint of aromatic wood smoke.

This whisky was born over a thousand walks in the forest. Most mornings, our Director of Whisky Creation, Dr. Bill wanders through the woods near his home and each time, he notices something new, be it the fragrance of last night’s rainfall or the sound of leaves rustling a particular way. Captivated by the notion of a whisky steeped in the scents, sights and sounds of the forest, Dr. Bill brought back an ancient method of infusing barley with botanicals - in this case, juniper berries, birch bark and heather blossom . The result is a botanical single malt that holds a forest-like magic.

How does it taste?

A botanical single malt with a forest-like depth of taste and aroma, commencing with a bouquet of pine, juniper and coriander, along with roasted chestnut and an intriguing whisper of smoke. Upon sipping, flavour explodes in the mouth. Whirls of peppermint. Bursts of eucalyptus. Rustles of bitter orange. All floating on clouds of vanilla with intriguing hints of black liquorice. It concludes with a slow and luscious finish featuring lemon, orange and a soft hint of oak.
