Cultivating a strong reputation among whiskey enthusiasts is no easy task. Many distilleries spend decades perfecting recipes that resonate with drinkers while fine-tuning those that don’t. Among the world’s most prestigious whiskey producers, Glenmorangie stands out for its innovative approach, with experimental expressions like A Tale of Ice Cream pushing the boundaries of traditional whiskey.

The name may evoke curiosity, as whiskey is typically associated with bold characteristics. While rare, some expressions incorporate a touch of sweetness, but it’s undeniable that whiskey pairs exceptionally well with sweet confections. A Tale of Ice Cream is sure to attract a dedicated following, especially among those who appreciate unique flavor profiles.

This Highland single malt Scotch whiskey boasts a dazzling bronze color and comes in an eye-catching bottle designed to resemble a waffle cone topped with a scoop of ice cream. This playful presentation hints at the delightful experience that awaits inside.

As the fifth release in Glenmorangie’s special edition series, A Tale of Ice Cream is both a bold marketing move and a celebration of creativity. The whiskey is curated to deliver enticing aromas of coconut, almond marzipan, manuka honey, peaches, toffee, orange peel, lemon-flavored butter candy, baking raisin bread, and a hint of spice.

Its texture promises to be rich, creamy, and thick, reminiscent of a spoonful of ice cream. Flavors of almond marzipan, lemon sherbet, ginger, nutmeg, clove, desiccated coconut, honeycomb, fudge, cinnamon, and brioche come together in a harmonious blend. The finish offers a long, lingering aftertaste with hints of toffee apple, sweet popcorn, and a note of aniseed.

Glenmorangie’s A Tale of Ice Cream is available now, inviting whiskey lovers and dessert enthusiasts alike to indulge in this extraordinary experience.
