GLENMORANGIE 15YO THE CADBOLL BOURBON CASK 700ML

 Glenmorangie 15YO The Cadboll Bourbon Cask 700ml:

• Heritage and Craftsmanship: This expression is part of Glenmorangie’s limited-edition Cadboll Estate series. The process begins in the distillery’s very own barley fields on the Cadboll Estate, where the barley is grown and harvested to the specifications set by Dr. Bill. The spirit is then crafted through traditional processes in towering copper stills, ensuring an elegant base for further exploration with cask influences .

• Cask Maturation and Finishing: The 15-year-old whisky is initially matured in American oak bourbon casks, which impart rich, creamy depths and subtle vanilla notes. To add an extra layer of complexity, a portion is finished in casks that once held Amontillado sherry. This dual approach gives the whisky its signature nutty and sweet spice character, threading hints of toffee, clove, and a delicate fruity finish reminiscent of honeysuckle, peaches, and cream 

• Tasting Profile: On the nose, many enthusiasts detect a blend of toasted nuts with a whisper of fruit; the palate unfolds with a balance of creamy, subtly spicy notes complemented by a gentle hint of sherry sweetness. While some reviewers have noted that the whisky exhibits a bright, youthful sharpness alongside its mature, rounded profile, it offers an intriguing complexity that sets it apart from more conventional single malts 

• Specifications and Appeal: Bottled at 43% ABV in a 700ml format, this expression stands out as both a collector’s item and a delightful dram for those eager to explore how the interplay of bourbon and sherry cask influences can elevate a classic Highland single malt. With its limited-edition status and unique approach to cask finishing, it’s an excellent choice for whisky enthusiasts looking for something that marries tradition with a twist
