Details
Glenmorangie's A Tale Of Tokyo is the distillery's exciting forth release in its 'Tale of…' series – and the first to be part-aged in Japanese mizunara oak casks. Combining bright, bold flavours with soft sweetness, this limited-edition, experimental single malt whisky is as full of sensory contrasts as the city of Tokyo itself.
Not only is it a unique, imaginative release, it's award-winning, too, having been given the rare accolade of Double Gold – where all members of the judging panel give a gold-medal rating – at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

TASTING NOTES:
Capturing the sensory wonders of Tokyo
Appearance
Bronze.
Aroma
Powerfully herbal on the nose, with hints of toffee contrasted by incense and saddle soap, followed by a resinous note and a touch of cedar wood.
Taste
A peppery mouthfeel leads into notes of tangy oranges and bitter cherries alongside fennel and chewy oak. The finish is long and gently nutty, with hints of almond, mandarin, ground white pepper and more wood resin.

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo
Inspired by Tokyo’s many sensory dimensions, A Tale of Tokyo unites whisky that's part-aged in Japanese mizunara oak casks with whisky that has spent time in both sherry and bourbon casks.
The influence of the Japanese wood on the spirit is complex and unusual, which requires balancing and softening with Glenmorangie's light, floral whisky base.
The result of this union is a unique and complex flavour profile – notes of pepper fuse with bitter cherries, and mouthwatering orange zest with incense and sweet oak.
Tasked with bringing the whisky to life in a visual form, the celebrated Japanese artist Yamaguchi Akira created his own playful and intricate perspective of Tokyo's contrasts and layers of history and culture, which is featured on the bottle’s artwork and outer packaging.
FOOD PAIRING:
Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo
Serve alongside almond sesame seaweed crisps – the sweet and savoury contrast echoes that of the whisky – and creamy scallop sashimi with shisho leaf.
Mains that contrast umami and sweetness – such as hitsumabushi (sliced grilled eel served on rice with an assortment of condiments and garnishes) and sukiyaki (Japanese hotpot) – work very well.
Choose Japanese desserts combining sweet and savoury ingredients, such as white sesame and red bean mochi.
