Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes (Batch 4)
- Nose: Wonderfully aromatic and honeyed. Notes of honeysuckle, jasmine, and orange blossom mingle with almond marzipan, vanilla custard, and poached pears.
- Palate: Uniquely full and silky. A burst of mandarin orange and zesty lemon is followed by deeper layers of honeycomb, butter candy, and creamy white chocolate.
- Finish: Long, gentle, and soothing. It leaves a refreshing, lingering trail of menthol and sweet oak spice.
Food Pairings & Serving
- Savory Pairing: Pairs beautifully with Roasted Scallops or Creamy Lobster Bisque. The whisky’s buttery texture and citrus highlights enhance the sweetness of the seafood.
- Cheese Pairing: Best matched with a Mild Goat Cheese or Triple-Cream Brie. The floral jasmine notes in the whisky provide a sophisticated contrast to the tangy creaminess of the cheese.
- Sweet Pairing: The ultimate partner for Lemon Drizzle Cake or Shortbread with Apricot Jam.
- The "Terroir" Serve: Enjoy it neat in a tulip glass. Because of its silky profile, it is particularly rewarding to sip slowly at room temperature to allow the delicate floral "Highland" notes to bloom.
About the brand
Glenmorangie The Cadboll Estate is the distillery’s prestigious "grain-to-glass" series. It is crafted entirely from barley grown on the Cadboll Estate, the distillery's own farm located just a few miles from the stills in the Tain lowlands. This barley is harvested only once a year in quantities sufficient for just two weeks of production, making the spirit particularly precious. The series is a showcase of "terroir"—the idea that the specific soil, coastal microclimate, and air of the Highland coast can be tasted in the final glass.
