GLENMORANGIE
Glenmorangie’s new limited-edition whisky, A Tale of
Tokyo, pays tribute to the Maison’s Master Distiller Dr. Bill
Lumsden’s fascination with the Japanese capital and its
captivating contrasts. The single malt evokes the wonders
of Tokyo, blending bold flavors with subtle sweetness.
Peppery aromas meet notes of cherry and coconut,
while hints of orange zest fuse with incense and oak,
finishing off with Glenmorangie’s hallmarks: mandarin,
almond and marzipan. “Traveling the world to share
Glenmorangie gives me a wealth of inspiration for new
whiskies, and Tokyo has always been one of my favorite
places,” said Dr. Bill Lumsden. “I’m fascinated by the con-
tradictions between its bustling streets and tranquil
gardens, its ancient and modern buildings, its myriad
experiences offering a feast for the senses, and its cul-
ture. I wanted to capture the spirit of Tokyo, in all its com-
plexity, in a whisky.” To bring A Tale of Tokyo’s inspiration
and vibrant flavors to life in visual form, Glenmorangie
teamed up with Japanese artist Yamaguchi Akira, whose
artwork adorns its bottles and packaging. The artist’s
intricate, maximalist paintings playfully blend Tokyo’s
iconic cityscapes with elements from Glenmorangie’s
Highland distillery, infused with the Scottish Maison’s
signature colors.
