A Tale of Tokyo is Glenmorangie stepping into a new world, a meeting of Highland elegance and Japanese precision. It’s inspired by the energy of Tokyo itself: neon lights, quiet temples, bold flavors, and contrasts that somehow harmonize. Opening this bottle feels like standing at the Shibuya crossing at dusk, motion everywhere, yet a sense of calm beauty in the chaos.

Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo with FREE Glenmorangie Tasting Glass
Brand: Glenmorangie | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 46% | Origin: Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Bright citrus, green tea, soft florals, vanilla cream, and hints of toasted oak, like walking past a Tokyo tea house with cherry blossoms drifting in the air.
Palate: Lively, smooth, and layered. Notes of yuzu zest, sweet malt, white peach, roasted sesame, herbal tea, and gentle oak spice glide with clean Glenmorangie elegance. The Japanese oak adds a fragrant, airy structure that sets it apart.
Finish: Medium to long with lingering citrus, sweet spice, and a delicate sandalwood-like warmth.

Production Details:
A Tale of Tokyo combines Glenmorangie’s signature light-bodied Highland malt with the influence of rare Mizunara oak, one of the most challenging woods to work with in whisky. Mizunara brings incense, spice, and delicate florals, while bourbon and sherry casks add sweetness and depth. The result is a fusion whisky that feels both modern and timeless, mirroring the spirit of Tokyo.

Perfect For:
Gifting, collectors, lovers of Japanese-influenced whisky, and evenings where you want something bright, refined, and unexpected. The free Glenmorangie Tasting Glass elevates the aroma-driven experience.

Expert Notes:
Critics highlight A Tale of Tokyo for its vibrant profile and the way Mizunara oak transforms Glenmorangie’s citrus-forward style. Praised as one of the brand’s most creative limited editions in recent years.

Customer Reviews:
“Fresh, floral, and beautifully balanced. A standout.”
“The Mizunara influence is subtle but magical.”
“Perfect mix of Scottish finesse and Japanese elegance.”

Interesting Fact:
Mizunara oak trees can take over 200 years to mature and are notoriously difficult to craft into barrels, leaking, bending, and cracking easily. That rarity gives the wood its legendary status.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat in the Glenmorangie Tasting Glass to appreciate the citrus and tea-like elegance. A few drops of water reveal more peach and floral notes. Avoid too much ice, it can mute the delicate Mizunara influence.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1843, Glenmorangie is known for its exceptionally tall stills and bright, elegant spirit. Under Dr. Bill Lumsden's direction, the distillery has become a leader in creative cask experimentation. A Tale of Tokyo reflects that boundary-pushing spirit, blending Highland purity with Japanese refinement.
