- Description
- Glenmorangie's Tokyo-inspired expression pushes beyond its traditional bourbon and sherry maturation by introducing Mizunara—rare Japanese oak that brings sandalwood, white pepper, and exotic spice to the nose. The palate opens with orange zest, cherry, and milk chocolate, while the Japanese oak adds woody perfume and subtle astringency that elevates the familiar Glenmorangie house style. Bottled at 46% ABV, it retains the distillery's characteristic elegance while exploring new textural ground. A thoughtful pour for those curious about how geography and wood choice reshape a well-known whisky.
