A Tale of Cake began when Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky Creation, found himself musing over how some of his most joyful memories involved cake – from baking with his granny, to the pineapple upside down cake his daughter made him for his birthday. Dreaming of encapsulating cake’s magic in a single malt whisky, he experimented by finishing Glenmorangie in Tokaji dessert wine casks. Skillfully layering their sweet, honeyed notes with Glenmorangie’s smooth, fruity character, Dr. Bill created Glenmorangie A Tale of Cake.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Complex, rich and multi-layered, with a burst of passion fruit, peach, pear and mango.
- Palate: Malt, dried orchard fruit, citrus sponge cake, vanilla, malt, roasted nuts, nutmeg and some touches of oak, copper and yellow raisins.
- Finish: A lingering aftertaste with a delicious combination of honeycomb, chocolate almond and pecan nuts
