A little background
Driven by a desire to capture the sensory experiences of Tokyo and experiment with rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks, Dr. Bill Lumsden created a unique limited-edition whisky. He expertly combined Glenmorangie part-aged in Mizunara oak with whisky matured in sherry and bourbon casks, achieving a perfect balance with Glenmorangie’s signature style.
Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo mis bottled at 92 Proof and has a retail price of around $110 USD.
