Unveiling The Legends Collection
Elevate your whisky experience with Glenmorangie The Cadboll, a sumptuous celebration that stands as a testament to the rich heritage and craftsmanship synonymous with the Glenmorangie Distillery. Part of the exclusive Legends Collection, this expression takes inspiration from the enigmatic Cadboll Cup, a cherished silver wine cup with roots tracing back to the 16th century.
The Splendor of The Cadboll Cup
The Cadboll Cup, an embodiment of Scottish artistry and mysterious French influences, has captivated admirers for centuries. Intricately decorated and treasured by the MacLeods of Cadboll, this silver masterpiece inspired the creation of Glenmorangie Cadboll. The Cadboll Cup’s connection to Glenmorangie’s homeland runs deep, with the MacLeods establishing Glenmorangie House in 1699, just miles away from the distillery’s current location.
Crafting The Cadboll Legacy
Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s acclaimed Director of Distilling and Whisky Creation, undertook the challenge of creating a whisky that pays homage to the Cadboll Cup’s exceptional craftsmanship. Glenmorangie Cadboll is a sweet and rich single malt, reminiscent of the dessert-like flavors associated with the 16th-century sweet wines the Cadboll Cup may have once held.
A Symphony of Flavors
This deep gold whisky tantalizes the senses with a nose of baked bread, toasted brioche, and wine matured on the lees. Lemony notes intertwine with flint, giving way to subtle hints of roasted sage. The smooth, full mouthfeel reveals sweet tastes balanced with a distinctive mineral flavor. Mint humbugs and milky toffee emerge, leading to a long finish brimming with old-fashioned confectionery.
Secrets in Silver: The Enigmatic Cadboll Cup
The Cadboll Cup’s silver surfaces hold secrets that have intrigued historians and enthusiasts alike. Whether reflecting the influence of the Renaissance or telling the tale of a mysterious traveler, the cup’s origins remain shrouded in mystery.
