Scotch whisky producer Glenmorangie has unveiled a 13-year-old single malt created specifically for the winter season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The development of Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter was led by the producer\u2019s head of whisky creation, Dr Bill Lumsden, who was inspired by \u2018the joy of cosy moments indoors\u2019 during Scotland\u2019s snowy months.<\/p>\n

The wintry new single malt is the latest innovation from Glenmorangie, which has doubled down on its commitment to new product development by building The Lighthouse, a multi-million-pound distillery for experimentation.<\/p>\n

To craft the limited edition expression, Lumsden took a batch of whisky matured in ex-Bourbon barrels and finished it in ex-Marsala casks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know the delight of snuggling up in a winter jumper by the fire, when it\u2019s snowy outside,\u201d<\/em> Lumsden said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith flavours as bright and vivid as my favourite woollen sweater, Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter deliciously captures those magical, cosy moments.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

On the nose, the 46% ABV whisky offers touches of orange toffee, lavender honey and sweet rose, while the palate brings notes of red pepper flakes, cocoa powder, Brazil nut toffee and sweet barley malt.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the launch, the producer has developed a selection of seasonal cocktails that showcase the new single malt, including a Winter Old Fashioned and a Quinta Ruban Hot Chocolate. Meanwhile, a Pumpkin Scotch Latte was designed to highlight Glenmorangie\u2019s flagship expression.<\/p>\n

Priced at RRP \u00a375 (US$102.19), Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter will be available to purchase in the UK from 1 November and at specialist retailers.<\/p>\n

In September 2020, the Scotch maker released A Tale of Cake<\/a>, a limited edition whisky inspired by dessert.<\/p>\n
