This latest limited edition, which was created by Glenmorangie’s Whisky Creation Team – led by Head of Whisky Creation Dr Bill Lumsden and Master Blender Gillian Macdonald, was inspired by the irresistible flavours of an ice-cream parlour menu.
Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream, is said to deliver notes
of manuka honey, with lemon butter candy, raisin bread, candied orange peel,
peaches, toffee, spice, vanilla crème anglaise, coconut and almond marzipan on
the nose. Followed by notes of brioche, almond marzipan, honeycomb, fudge,
lemon sherbet, desiccated coconut, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove on the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Dr Bill Lumsden, said: “Ice cream
is an irresistible indulgence and inspired by the flavours you might find on an
ice-cream parlour menu, we imagined creating a whisky of melting decadence and
lavish swirls of flavour. By ageing Glenmorangie in bourbon and high-vanillin casks
we have deliciously magnified our whisky’s sweetest, creamiest side. With notes
of peach melba, lemon sorbet, coconut flakes and rich vanilla, sipping
Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream is like sinking your spoon into a carousel of
flavour. We invite whisky lovers old and new to indulge their sweet tooth and
enjoy this ultimate treat!”
Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream, is now available directly
from the distillery and select specialist retailers, for a RRP of £76.00.
