Dr Bill Lumsden and Gillian MacDonald created Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream. Consequently, the official distillery release tasting notes focus heavily on capturing the decadent, creamy essence of an authentic ice cream parlour.
Subsequently, the creators achieved this specific profile by using specially toasted high-vanillin virgin oak casks alongside classic ex-bourbon barrels. Therefore, this wood combination drives the entire flavour experience.
Number five of what was initially an expected range of six, although it is now thought that this will expand.

Official Tasting Notes
- Colour: Warm, lustrous bronze.
- Aroma: A rich burst of manuka honey immediately fills the glass, accompanied by lemon-flavoured butter candy, warm baking raisin bread, candied orange peel, succulent peaches, sweet toffee, and a faint hint of spice. A splash of water unveils deep vanilla crème anglaise, coconut flakes, and a suggestion of sweet almond marzipan.
- Palate: The texture is wondrously thick, velvety, and mouth-coating, rippling with luscious layers of peach melba, rich vanilla pods, and cooling lemon sorbet. These notes give way to toasted coconut flakes, swirls of hot toffee sauce, and a gentle prickle of warming wood spice.
- Finish: Long, luxurious, and intensely sweet, leaving a lingering trail of creamy vanilla, brown sugar, and a soft, clean whisper of peat smoke on the back palate
