Glenmorangie unveiled the latest release in its Cadboll Estate series of single-estate whiskies: Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
Crafted by Glenmorangie from field to glass, this limited-edition series brings the spirit and flavor of the distillery’s cherished Highland home to whisky lovers around the globe, it says. Aged for 15 years, the third batch of Glenmorangie The Cadboll Estate brings a nutty and spicy twist to the series’ award-winning flavor, it adds.
Each release in the series begins in the distillery’s own barley fields located on the Cadboll Estate, planted and harvested to Dr. Bill Lumsden's specifications, the company notes. This Cadboll barley is then mashed and distilled in Glenmorangie’s towering copper stills (as tall as an adult giraffe to allow for a more elegant taste and aroma), to bring forth a uniquely delicious spirit, it says.
“Created at Glenmorangie from field to glass, our Cadboll Estate series captures the true essence of our Highland world for whisky lovers to experience, wherever they happen to be,” Lumsden said in a statement. “Including a parcel of whisky finished in casks seasoned with Amontillado, my favorite sherry, the third Glenmorangie Cadboll Estate release adds wondrous sherried hints to our barley’s unique flavor. Soft and rich, with notes of deeply sweet spice, toffee, almonds and clove, this whisky celebrates the spirit, flavor and terroir of our homeland in a deliciously different way.”
Glenmorangie Cadboll Estate third batch release is chill filtered and bottled at 43% ABV. The Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is available to purchase at specialist whisky shops in the United States for $99.99 a bottle. It also is available from the Distillery Visitor Centre and online at the Glenmorangie website.
