Glenmorangie Ice Cream

The Glenmorangie 'A Tale of...' series expands with another expression that reflects director of whisky creation Dr Bill Lumsden's sweet tooth. The good doctor was inspired by his favourite ice cream parlour to create this whisky, which is rich, creamy, and full of vanilla flavours.

To achieve this, Lumsden selected casks rich in vanillin, the aromatic compound which brings vanilla flavours to whisky. The good people at Glenmo explain: "When you toast barrels, the lignin (which aids the wood’s structure) breaks down and releases compounds including vanillin. Glenmorangie’s high-vanillin casks were toasted in a particular way, to create higher concentrations of vanillin".

Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream represents the first time the distillery has used casks toasted to achieve this effect. This followed experimentation with a variety of different woods before selecting virgin oak casks toasted in this particular way. The press release also makes a point of noting that the whisky does not contain vanilla extract. Which would be ILLEGAL in Scotch whisky.

Tasting Note by The Producer

Nose A burst of Manuka honey, with lemon butter candy, baking raisin bread, candied orange peel, peaches, toffee and a hint of spice. With a splash of water, there is vanilla crème anglaise, a hint of coconut and a whiff of almond marzipan.

Palate The texture is thick, rich and creamy, and is followed by a huge burst of sweet and spicy flavours – brioche, almond marzipan, honeycomb, fudge, lemon sherbet and desiccated coconut. The spices warm up the palate, with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove.

Finish A long, lingering aftertaste that has hints of toffee apple, Butterkist popcorn and a hint of aniseed.

Reviews for Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream
Not very good.
Their private range was the best they have ever done. Glenmorangie Milsean blew my socks off what Dr Lumsden is capable of. It totally reminded me of a confectionary shop with all those jarred boiled sweets and treats. All of the private range was just sublime. Whilst they were the best range I’ve ever had I’d like to see at least one of the private range put into production like Milsean. I wish they could do another 10 expressions or perhaps another 6 for the sixteen men of Tain.
