Product Info
This rich, primal, and extremely rare limited edition is the result of a collaboration between Whisky Creation Director Dr Bill Lumsden and Japanese botanical artist Makoto Azuma. Custom-crafted by Dr Bill, this whisky is a tribute to all natural elements, from the depths of the earth to the intricate flora and fauna. It is a stunning tribute to the wonders of the living world, a culmination of Dr Bill's inspiration drawn from Azuma's work. This release demonstrates how nature in all its forms can be personified in exquisite whisky. To capture the complexity of our natural world, Dr Bill first selected a classic Glenmorangie, matured for years in ex-bourbon casks, imbued with intense aromas of lemon balm and orchid. He then combined this single malt with Glenmorangie's first whisky, finished in casks that held Chardonnay white wine from the Meursault region of Burgundy, and, inspired by the whisky's complex notes of flowers, rain-soaked moss, and earth, Makoto Azuma created the botanical masterpiece that now adorns this whisky.
