Glenmorangie A Tale of Tokyo is a new limited edition Glenmorangie whisky, born from Dr Bill Lumsden's obsession Japan - its culture, fashion and food. It took a decade before he managed to to source casks made from Japanese Mizunara oak, one of the most sought-after varieties. The result was whisky, which is the epitome of Tokyo - layered, contradictory and always a surprise! Welcome to Dr Bill Lumsden's "Tale of Tokyo"!
Glenmorangie has collaborated with acclaimed Japanese artist Yamaguchi Akira to design the gift packaging and label. He has fleshed out his playful and intricate vision of Tokyo, showing it as a city full of contrasts and layers of culture and history. The complete artwork created for A Tale of Tokyo can be found at Glenmorangie.com.
