Glenmorangie The Tarlogan Limited Edition
Matured in Virgin Oak & Ex-Bourbon Casks
Discover the allure of Glenmorangie limited edition expression, The Tarlogan, a whisky steeped in the rich history of the ancient Picts, the guardians of Scotland’s northeast lands. This exclusive offering is part of the Glenmorangie Legends collection, a tribute to the legendary lands that have cradled the Glenmorangie Distillery since 1843.
The Picts: Guardians of Ancient Stories
Centuries ago, the Picts, a mysterious civilization, ruled the landscapes of northeast Scotland. Their tales echo through time in ornately carved standing stones, including the majestic Cadboll Stone discovered on land once owned by Glenmorangie. These stones vividly depict the deep spiritual connection the Picts had with their surroundings, inspiring The Tarlogan’s creation.
The Tarlogie Wood: A Sanctuary of Spirits
At the heart of the Picts’ reverence lay the Tarlogie Wood, a forested haven with a sacred spring named after the ancient Pictish King, Tarlogan. Nestled at the foot of hills south of the Glenmorangie Distillery, the Tarlogie Spring has been the sole water source for Glenmorangie’s single malt since 1843. Its mineral-rich water, having journeyed through sandstone and limestone layers, imparts a fragrant, floral spirit to Glenmorangie’s celebrated house style.
Glenmorangie Tarlogan: A Whisky Tribute
In honoring the Pictish King, Dr. Bill Lumsden, the celebrated Director of Whisky Creation and Distilling, crafted Glenmorangie Tarlogan. Inspired by the woodland safeguarding the Tarlogie Spring, this limited edition whisky marries spirits matured in ex-bourbon casks and virgin oak casks. The result is a symphony of sweet, earthy aromas — creamy butterscotch, vanilla, and coconut — leading into dessert-like notes of vanilla custard, pears, pineapple, and gentle citrus.
The Legends Collection: Crafted for Travel Retail
Glenmorangie Legends, an exclusive collection available only in Travel Retail, captures the spirit of unique tales inspired by the legendary lands surrounding the distillery since 1843. Each expression, including The Tarlogan, is carefully crafted by Dr. Bill Lumsden, offering a journey into the rich history and exquisite flavors that define Glenmorangie’s commitment to excellence.
Experience the limited edition Glenmorangie Tarlogan — a celebration of our forefathers and a tribute to the enduring legacy of the Tarlogie Wood.
