Food Match Greek salad with plenty of Feta, followed by strawberries and cream.
Overview
Just a short drive from the distillery itself, Glenmorangie’s 440-acre Cadboll Estate produces just enough of their own unique strain of barley for no more than two weeks production per year. A lot of time and care goes into making sure the exceptionally precious barley is exactly what Dr Bill Lumsden’s after. He specifies the varieties and fields they’ll be planted in, and upon harvest makes sure the barley’s dried and malted just as he chooses.
Dr Bill said: “Our rugged and remote homeland is so special, that we wanted to share its spirit and flavour in this delicious whisky, crafted at Glenmorangie from field to glass. The Cadboll Estate barley brings an extra creaminess to our delicate, fruity spirit. For those of you who do not live in the Highlands – in other words, most of you – enjoying our Cadboll Estate whisky is the next best thing to being here.”
The small first release distilled in 2004 was followed by Glenmorangie The Cadboll Estate 15 Year Old 2005 Vintage, which reflects the subtle changes in the barley crop. Distilled in 2005 and matured in first fill American White Oak ex-Bourbon casks, it’s already found fame by picking up Best Single Malt Scotch 15 Year Old at the 2021 International Whisky Competition, Double Gold at the 2021 San Francisco Spirits Competition, and Gold at the 2021 International Spirits Challenge. And in 2022 it repeated its winnings at the IWC and ISC, scored gold at San Francisco and added gold at the Scottish Whisky Awards to the mantle.
This second batch release of Glenmorangie The Cadboll Estate 15 Year Old has wondrously silken depths; it layers rich cinnamon and ginger, orange, eucalyptus, and creamy vanilla candy.

Glenmorangie's History
Glenmorangie Distillery sits on the banks of the scenic Dornoch Firth just outside the township of Tain in Ross-shire, northern Scotland. It seems the residents of Tain were a thirsty bunch, they’ve been said to have been brewing beverages in the area since the Middle Ages.
