Product Description
Of all the places he has visited, Tokyo is a favourite of our glob-trotting whisky creator Dr. Bill. Every moment in this city of contrasts calls to his senses, as he steps from peaceful garden to bustling street to vibrant city bar. To celebrate the many sides of of Tokyo, he matured Glenmorangie in casks made from Japan's sought-after Mizunara oak. Aromas of slowly smoking incense curl round sweet toffee, bursts of pepper counter bright, bitter cherries. Then fresh orange zest fades to almond flakes and sweet oak, in a whisky as full of contradictions as the city itself. Inspired by our tale, Japanese artist Yamaguchi Akira has hidden a few Dr. Bills in his vibrant illustration of Tokyo. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.
