Glenmorangie Distillery takes its single-estate whisky’s creamy style to new heights
Published Date: 23rd May 2024
Field-to-glass series’ fourth release bottles the taste of the Distillery’s Highland homeland
Astonishingly rich and silky, the latest release of Glenmorangie The Cadboll Estate takes the single-estate whisky’s creamy character to new heights of deliciousness. Crafted from barley grown in just eight fields on Glenmorangie’s own Estate located near the distillery, this grain-to-glass series bottles the spirit and flavour of the Highland single malt Scotch whisky’s homeland for whisky lovers everywhere. Aged for 15 years in designer bourbon casks to magnify its acclaimed creaminess, the fourth batch limited release is silky, rich and rounded, with notes of fruit and honey.
Glenmorangie’s Cadboll Estate lies just moments from the Distillery on the fertile Easter Ross Peninsula, which divides the Moray and Dornoch Firths. Few live in this world of wide-open skies, endless barley fields and beautiful beaches. And since it is far off the beaten track, only so many can visit. Inspired to share the essence of Glenmorangie with fans around the world, its whisky creators set about crafting a whisky from field to glass, and so the Cadboll Estate series was born. Each release begins with barley grown in only 26 hectares – eight fields – on the Estate. Planted and harvested precisely as the Distillery specifies, this small plot brings forth a spirit of rich creaminess.
To celebrate the Cadboll harvest of 2007, Glenmorangie’s whisky creators matured its precious spirit in their renowned designer casks. Hand-hewn from select American white oaks, air-dried and seasoned with bourbon to their exacting specifications, these casks are custom-made to bring Glenmorangie’s soft spirit to its best. Aged 15 years in that wood, the fourth batch release of Glenmorangie The Cadboll Estate is uniquely full and silky, enriched with notes of honeycomb, apricots and pears.
Director of Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden, said: “Grown in just eight fields near the Glenmorangie Distillery, Cadboll barley brings our spirit even more creaminess. To accentuate its incredible softness, we aged the fourth batch release of Glenmorangie The Cadboll Estate in our renowned designer casks. Bespoke from field to glass, this 15-year-old single-estate whisky is alive with rich, silky flavours. Honeyed aromas of apricots and pears, and tastes of butter candy, orange and melon gives whisky lovers a delicious taste of our Highland homeland, wherever in the world they happen to be.”
Glenmorangie Cadboll Estate Batch 4 is now available to purchase online at Glenmorangie.com, the distillery visitor centre in Tain and at other select retailers, RRP: £76.
