Description
Before Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban had an age statement, it was known for its rich and complex flavour profile, achieved through a unique maturation process. The whisky started its journey in American white oak bourbon casks and was then transferred to specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.
The result was a whisky with a deep and dark character, featuring notes of walnut, black pepper, mandarin orange, melted marshmallow, dark chocolate, and peppermint. It was known for its rich and syrupy character, with a robust strength that made it a favourite among whisky enthusiasts.
The Quinta Ruban was often described as a whisky journey into the wild, with a thicket of voluptuous flavour combinations that delighted the senses. It was a perfect choice for those who appreciated a rich and flavourful whisky with a touch of elegance.
