Process & Profile
Glenmorangie's A Tale of the Forest is the first whisky crafted with barley kilned using woodland botanicals. Inspired by ancient Highland practices, Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie's Director of Whisky Creation, revived this method to produce a truly innovative single malt. Barley is infused with juniper berries, birch bark, and heather blossoms, then aged in bourbon casks, many of which are refill casks, to let the distinctive flavors shine. This approach creates a whisky that is as lush and earthy as the forest itself, bottled at 46% ABV.Tasting Notes
