A tale of the forest is Glenmorangie’s first whisky crafted from barley kilned with woodland botanicals.

This is a Glenmorangie as lush and leafy as the forest itself. With aromas of pine needles, woodland moss, juniper’s sharpness, and tastes of eucalyptus, mint, bitter orange and distant smoke, this limited edition is a whisky to surround, delight and surprise you, whether you enjoy it deep in a forest or in cocktails at home.

HOW ITS CRAFTED

We brought back an ancient method of kilning barley with botanicals. Some years ago, while walking in the woods, our Master Distiller Dr Bill Lumsden recalled how ancient Highland whisky makers dried their barley with all kinds of forest fuel. He began experimenting by kilning his barley with many different botanicals, finally selecting juniper berries, birch bark and heather flowers, married with a little peat. The result was a batch of spirit with rare aromas of pine needles and juniper, laced with wisps of smoke. He then aged it in bourbon casks including many refill casks, chosen to allow the spirit’s flavours to shine.
