Glenmorangie Cadboll Estate 15 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750 ml)
Description
On the lands of our Estate surrounding our Highland home, grows our prized Cadboll barley. This 15 years old small batch release is a deliciously unique whisky - only the second batch of our single estate single malt created at Glenmorangie, from field to glass.
Glenmorangie is a coastal distillery, which means the local land where our Cadboll barley is grown is protected from hard inland frosts and extremes of weather, almost in its own microclimate. In these conditions, every harvest is unique and brings subtle flavour differences to each batch of The Cadboll Estate.
This second batch has distinctive creamy vanilla candy on the nose, with hints of orange blossom, ginger and cinnamon alongside poached pear in syrup, and zesty lemon.
Tasting Notes:
- Color: Light gold.
- Nose: A full and fruity nose with orange and honeyed apricots. Creamy vanilla candy, toasted almonds and a hint of coconut and sugared almonds. With a few drops of water more floral notes of orange blossom, jasmine and heather come to the fore.
- Palate: A rich, smooth silky texture is followed by a burst of sweet fruity flavours - poached pear in syrup, apricot and zesty lemon. Ginger & cinnamon spices sizzle and are tempered with a cooling mentholic freshness.
- Finish: There is a long lingering finish, with layers of orange oil, toasty oak and eucalyptus.
