UK. Today’s images portray a vibrant activation by Moët Hennessy Travel Retail at Heathrow Airport with Avolta, spotlighting the limited-edition Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream.
The Moodie Davitt Report Brands Director Hannah Tan captured the eye-catching images in Heathrow Airport Terminal 2.
A giant ice cream cone installation serves as the centrepiece, surrounded by imitation scoops in cups and pints, alongside the limited-edition ice cream-inspired whisky – all prominently displayed on a podium within the Glenmorangie boutique.
Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream is the fifth release in the brand’s A Tale Of… series, a collection that highlights the creativity and innovation of the brand’s whisky makers.
The expression is characterised by its sweet and creamy flavour profile, developed by The Glenmorangie Company Head of Distilling & Whisky Creation Dr Bill Lumsden.
Inspired by an ice cream parlour’s decadent flavour offerings, Dr Lumsden crafted a single malt that amplifies Glenmorangie’s naturally sweet and creamy character. Together with Master Blender Gillian Macdonald, he combined bourbon cask-matured whisky with the distiller’s first finish in high-vanillin casks.
Enhanced by toasted oak casks for intensified vanilla flavour, A Tale of Ice Cream reveals vibrant peach, vanilla and coconut notes, showcasing Glenmorangie’s signature sweetness and fruitiness.
This whisky is presented in a pastel-toned box that captures the colours, textures and indulgent details of an ice cream parlour. ✈
