GLENMORANGIE The Tarlogan Legends Limited Edition

In honor of the Pictish king for whom Tarlogie Wood is said to be named, Dr. Bill Lumsden, Whisky's celebrated Director of Creation and Distilling, set out to create a whiskey inspired by the ancient forest that has safeguarded our precious water source since 1843.

Evoking the botanical aromas of a summer morning walk in the forest, Dr. Bill chose a parcel of spirit that had matured in ex-bourbon casks, creating a backbone of the classic Glenmorangie house style of light citrus and sweet florals. To complement this, it was married with a parcel of pure malt aged in virgin oak casks, crafted from slow-grown American white oak and similar to those used in the acclaimed Glenmorangie Ealanta - to reflect the purity and tranquility of the forest. Elegantly integrating the classic floral style of the house, the new oak spirit infuses deep, sweet flavors and a gentle spiciness, with a lingering coconut note reminiscent of gorse blossoms in the spring sunshine.
