There are two types of people in the world when it comes to the summer to autumn transition period. Some relish the ritual of the wardrobe changeover, eagerly retrieving their cosy clothes from storage. Others (and by that we mean us), view the change in weather as an opportunity to give their eating and drinking habits a makeover. Out with the golden hour spritzes, in with the fireside whisky cocktails. And what better way to mark the start of the new season than a night in with Glenmorangie?
Last week we kicked off our autumn festivities by celebrating the launch of Glenmorangie’s new limited edition whisky, Glenmorangie: A Tale of Tokyo at Motel Studios. Throughout this multi-sensory journey we discovered the whisky’s unique tasting notes with an evening of fun activities (including a guided whisky tasting!), a selection of exquisite Glenmorangie cocktails and some perfectly paired canapés.
Curated by whisky creator Dr Bill Lumsden, the experience was inspired by Tokyo and its fascinating landscape filled with sensory contrasts. The expertly balanced combination of flavours such as pepper, bitter cherries, coconut, mandarin and sweet oak make for a truly unique sipping experience. And you can embark on this journey of sensory discovery at home with Glenmorangie: A Tale of Tokyo available to purchase now.
During the spectacular tasting session we were lucky enough to be amongst the world’s first people to try this Tokyo-inspired, limited edition whisky. Buy your bottle here.
Once we’d experienced those magical flavour notes, our palettes were perfectly primed, so we headed to the bar to sip our way through a menu of mouth watering whisky cocktails. Why not recreate this flavourful adventure yourself with an at-home whisky cocktail-making session?
