Glenmorangie’s ‘A Tale of the Forest’ is a new limited edition whiskey that uses barley kilned with woodland botanicals. This experimental whiskey is meant to evoke a sense of peace through the forest's sounds, scents, and sights. Drawing inspiration from her surroundings and her chats with Dr. Bill about Scotland, Thai illustrator Pomme Chan teamed up with Glenmorangie to bring the whisky's flavors to life through a stunning, artful packaging design. Pomme Chan traveled deep into her favorite forest in northern Thailand, and soon after, she created a fanciful forest of her own.
‘A Tale of the Forest’ boasts scents of pine needles, woodland moss, and junipers and tastes of eucalyptus, mint, bitter orange, and woodsmoke. The expression is available starting on Sep 22, 2022, featuring Pomme Chan’s delightful art.
