Glenmorangie's latest creation, A Tale of Tokyo, builds on the success of predecessors A Tale of Cake, A Tale of Forest and A Tale of Winter, transporting whisky aficionados to the bustling streets and captivating aromas of Tokyo.
Dr Bill, the mastermind behind this innovative blend, draws inspiration from Tokyo's kaleidoscope of sensations, introducing rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks to the Glenmorangie repertoire for the very first time. The result is a limited-edition masterpiece that marries the essence of Mizunara oak with the rich heritage of sherry and bourbon casks, creating a symphony of flavours that perfectly harmonize with Glenmorangie's signature style.
It's a tantalizing fusion of flavours, where a zesty kick of pepper enhances the luscious sweetness of bitter cherries and mouthwatering orange zest, while a hint of incense is folded into the subtle embrace of sweet oak. This unique flavour profile is the fruit of meticulous craftsmanship and the alchemy of Mizunara oak, bourbon, and sherry casks.
With its vibrant hues and bold flavours, Glenmorangie’s A Tale of Tokyo encapsulates the spirit of Tokyo itself—a city pulsating with energy, yet imbued with moments of serene beauty.
To create the packaging artwork for A Tale of Tokyo, Glenmorangie partnered with Japanese artist Yamaguchi Akira, who is best known for his maximalist bird's-eye view-style illustrations. His artwork design for the whisky's packaging incorporates landmarks and features of both Tokyo and the Highland distillery, including the Tokyo Tower, Ueno Park, Glenmorangie's famously tall stills – and even small figures of Dr Bill.
