A Scotch single malt whisky that captures the meeting of two cultures

A rare sensory journey: "A Tale Of Tokyo" by Glenmorangie

"A Tale Of Tokyo" is Glenmorangie's refined tribute to the vibrant, enigmatic city of Tokyo. This sublime Scotch whisky reveals a harmonious fusion of Scottish tradition and subtle nuances inspired by Japanese art and culture. It tells a story of two worlds meeting, where ancestral craftsmanship embraces modernity and innovation.

The alchemy of creation: the metamorphosis of an exceptional whisky

The making of this single malt whisky is a poem in itself. The finest barley, soft water and a meticulous distillation process all play their part in its creation. Its ageing also tells a singular story: it took master distiller Dr Bill Lumdsen ten years of searching before he finally succeeded in sourcing casks made from Mizunara oak, a tree highly prized in Japan.

This exceptional whisky begins its maturation in Bourbon casks, continues in Sherry casks and finishes in Mizunara oak casks, which give it a unique character and a rare aromatic complexity.
