Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Highland region of Scotland. It’s matured first in ex-bourbon casks and then finished in
ruby Port pipes (Quintas from Portugal). Bottled at
46% ABV, it is non-chill filtered to preserve fuller aroma and texture. The current age statement is
14 years, updated from the earlier 12-year-old version.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Dark gold with ruby or rosy tint; warm, inviting hue.

-
Palate: Rich and smooth; layers of walnut, dark chocolate, sweet Oranges, Turkish Delight, rose notes, all balanced by port influence; chocolate-mint character emerges.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve neat or with a few drops of water to unlock deeper layers of aroma. Use a tulip or Glencairn glass at room temperature. Excellent as an after-dinner dram. Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, berry-based desserts (orange and chocolate especially), strong cheeses, or hazelnuts. Also enjoyable in whisky-centred cocktails where fruity and chocolate notes are desired.
