Glenmorangie’s Story of Ice Cream is their newest annual launch of their whimsical Tales sequence. Starting with a Story of Cake, Glenmorangie has sought to launch uniquely completed whiskies with names that they imagine finest symbolize the flavour profiles. This whisky was completed in high-vanillin casks. The packaging is mild, brilliant and pleasant.
Heavy cream, full bodied, praline
Very mild, a touch of oak with a tiny little bit of spice on the entrance palate, it’s extremely skinny and makes it troublesome to search out any particular taste traits or notes.
I’ve been a fan of their earlier Tales releases, and I’m a lover of ice cream as effectively so this launch had me excited. Sadly these expectations fell flat on what I discovered to an total bland whisky with few to no defining traits. The nostril actually captured a wealthy creamy ice cream that I hoped could be mirrored within the palate. Maybe it was the ABV, but it surely undoubtedly didn’t embody the flavour profile I might ascribe to ice cream in the best way that their earlier releases managed to seize the essence of their names. It’s price selecting up if you happen to want to gather the entire sequence, however for the whisky collectors who additionally take pleasure in opening bottles, that is one you may skip.
