Some whiskies are made to be savored. Glenmorangie Cadboll is one of them. Inspired by the Cadboll Cup, a legendary 16th-century silver goblet from the Highlands, this expression is Glenmorangie at its most indulgent, matured in casks that once held sweet French wines to create a whisky that feels like dessert in a glass.

Tasting Profile
Nose: A warm wave of vanilla fudge, toasted coconut, white chocolate, and baked brioche, rich and comforting with a whisper of lemon zest.
Palate: Creamy and full-bodied. Layers of honeyed cereal, almond pastry, apricot jam, and a soft buttery oak that wraps the tongue.
Finish: Long and sweet. Notes of vanilla custard, soft spice, and sugared almonds linger like the last bite of a decadent tart.

Production Details
