The Glenmorangie family of premium whiskies with a 180-year tradition has expanded with a new addition. Taste the atmosphere of Japan’s capital with the limited edition – A Tale of Tokyo.
“Tokyo has always been one of my favourite places. I am fascinated by the contradictions between its busy streets and peaceful gardens, ancient and modern buildings, multi-sensory experiences and culture. The years spent in Tokyo made me think about whether I could capture my experiences in the form of whisky," Dr. Bill Lumsden, Director of Distillation and Whisky Production at Glenmorangie Distilleries, describes the birth of this new product.
Enjoyment with All the Senses
The new beverage combines tones of pepper with bitter cherries and coconut, while the delicious taste of orange peel spills in the mouth with hints of incense and sweet oak. Finally, there are the classic flavours of Glenmorangie whisky – tangerine, almond and marzipan. Rare Japanese Mizunara oak barrels play a key role in the preparation of this unique whisky. In addition, A Tale of Tokyo is encased in a unique packaging design, the creator of which is the famous Japanese artist Yamaguchi Akira.
The mountainous region of South Tyrol is famous for the beauty of its snowy Alpine slopes. Despite the harsh climate, locals have come to love this region. If you visit the homestead located high on the hillside and named after the Ibex, you will definitely join them. Hotel Ansitz Steinbock in the village of Villanders will delight with the amazing view of the surroundings, perfect rooms and exceptional cuisine and, above all, with the atmosphere created by the hospitality of owner Elisabeth Rabensteiner.
