You can never accuse Glenmorangie of standing still. In fact, they remain – consistently – one of the more innovative distilleries in Scotland, always putting out something new that presents their prized spirit in a new and interesting light. The new release, A Tale of Cake, is further evidence.
It’s one of the reasons why the distillery has such appeal. Their core range of The Original (a 10yo), the extra-matured releases (Lasanta, Quinta Ruban, and Nectar d’Or), and the 18yo are all hard-hitters and right up there in the quality stakes, contradicting anyone who believes the mass-production whiskies can’t be any good. But, never resting on their laurels, Glenmorangie entertains its fans by regularly putting out limited release or special project editions that tweak the character of the spirit and showcase the whisky’s DNA in a different light.
The Private Edition range was one such avenue for these special releases, although this came to an end with 2019’s Allta. Stepping into the void towards the end of 2020 is the aptly named, A tale of cake”.
