Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo

A whisky born of an obsession, Dr Bill's obsession for the culture, fashion and food of Japan. The contradictory and multi-faceted nature of Tokyo inspired Dr Bill to reflect it into a whisky.
After a decade of searching, Dr Bill finally managed to source some casks from one of Japan’s most sought-after trees, Mizunara oak. The result is a whisky designed to bottle some of the wonders of Tokyo – multi-faceted, contradictory and always surprising!
Welcome to Dr Bill's “Tale of Tokyo”.

Inspired by a whisky as full of delicious contradictions as Tokyo itself, Japanese artist Yamaguchi Akira has created an illustration of Tokyo full of contrasts. He depicted daily scenes opposing past and present and playing with scale.

Dr Bill: “This liquid is crazy. Its flavour notes are insane, dissonant and impenetrable.”
Aged in Mizunara, Bourbon and Sherry casks

Colour: reddish bronze colour ‘like the rising sun’.
Aroma: pungent and herbal, with hints of incense and toffee, along with a curious herbal top-note, like saddle-soap or beeswax, followed by wood resin and a touch of cedar wood.
Taste: a peppery mouthfeel leads into the flavour of chewy oak, fennel or vetiver root, ground white pepper, tangy oranges, bitter cherries, almond and wood resin.

The fourth and possibly best yet in the "Tale of" series, welcome to Glenmorangie and their super late season release
