One of the truest pleasures of winter is curling up by a roaring fire while snow falls outside, swaddled in a cosy jumper and sipping on a glass of restorative whisky. This magical feeling has now been distilled – literally – into a new limited-edition single malt from Glenmorangie, A Tale of Winter.

The inspiration for this new expression comes from whisky’s Willy Wonka, the ever-inventive Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s head of distilling and whisky creation. He was inspired to create the whisky following an evening spent snowed-in at home in his favourite colourful winter knit. The resulting whisky combines wintery warming flavours including cinnamon, ginger and cloves, as well as notes of honey and fruit, cocoa, toffee and sweet red peppers, a Yuletide feast in a glass.

A Tale of Winter is luxurious, delicious and full of the most compelling notes of wintery indulgence, making it the perfect gift for a loved one this Christmas, or for one’s own drinks cabinet.

A Tale of Winter is available at Selfridges, £88.99, selfridges.co.uk, glenmorangie.com
