Whisky
Glenomorangie Quinta Ruban
Glenmorangie Quanta Ruban is the darkest and most intense whisky in the extra-matured range. Quinta Ruban has spent 10 years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into specially selected ruby port casks from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.
Extra maturation in these port casks develops Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban into a whisky with a complex balance of sweet and dry flavours and an intriguing contrast of smooth and crisp, cooling textures. It is non-chill-filtered for additional aroma and mouthfeel.
Nose: Dark mint chocolate, tangerines, and Seville oranges mingle with sandalwood and walnut before giving way to a spicy finish of pepper and nutmeg.
Palate: Mint chocolate and walnuts envelop the palate like velvet, laying the foundations for rose, Turkish delight, and sweet Seville oranges.
Finish: Long-lasting silky aftertaste leaving dark chocolate mints and traces of orange.
