Glenmorangie A Tale Of Cake (700 ml) (Limited Edition)
฿3,900
Glenmorangie's A Tale of Cake was conceived as a direct dialogue between distillery and pâtisserie: the limited-edition expression takes the distillery's characteristically light new-make — produced in Scotland's tallest copper pot stills at 5.14 m, which enforce extreme reflux and strip heavy congeners before a single drop enters wood — and finishes it in Sauternes casks, the same finishing vessel used for the permanent Nectar D'Or, but pushed further in both selection and intent. The base spirit originates at Morangie Farm, Tain, Ross-shire, where water drawn from Tarlogie Springs filters through limestone and sandstone for up to a century, producing unusually hard, mineral-rich water that underpins the distillery's clean, ester-forward character. Primary maturation proceeds in ex-bourbon American white oak from Glenmorangie's own Ozark Mountain forests — air-dried two years, bourbon-seasoned four — before the whisky transfers into Sauternes wine casks for its secondary finish, layering botrytised stone-fruit and honeyed pastry weight onto the distillery's signature peach-and-citrus frame. What sets this expression apart is the deliberate amplification of that Sauternes influence beyond the standard Nectar D'Or template, targeting a confectionery richness that is structurally unusual for an unpeated Highland malt. The result is a lush, dessert-register whisky with a drinking window suited to immediate enjoyment while the fruit-forward finish retains its vibrancy.
