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.
Perhaps each of us is affected by the captivating pre-Christmas atmosphere, candlelit Advent evenings, the aroma of sweets, mulled wine, potpourri, fragrant frankincense and the beauty of glittering decorations on the Christmas tree. Every year, adults and children alike eagerly await the arrival of Infant Jesus and experience the joy of gifts. And it is no different in Karlovy Vary…
The mountainous region of South Tyrol is endowed with extraordinary natural beauty. Despite the harsh climate, local residents literally fell in love with it. Proof of this is the exclusive estate of Ansitz Steinbock. It provides a beautiful view of the surroundings, a warm atmosphere filled with the friendliness of the owner, Elisabeth Rabensteiner, as well as cuisine renowned throughout the region.
Sweet and salt have always gone well together. The taste of salty spring water and sweet crispy wafers has become synonymous with Karlovy Vary. In many ways, life in the famous spa town can be likened to these opposites. Accept the salty-sweet invitation to a walk through the town, which since 2021 has been proud to be registered on the prestigious UNESCO list.
