Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban Port Cask Finish 14 Years Old 70 cl. 46%
Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Founded in 1843 in the Royal Burgh of Tain, in the far north of Scotland, Glenmorangie is Scotland’s Favourite Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The distillery is famous for its distinctive tall stills – the tallest in Scotland – which play an important role in the development of the complex and fruity house style. We are also recognised as the pioneer of extra-maturation in the 1980s and for innovative work in the field of cask management since the early 1990s. Proudly claiming our whiskies are “Unnecessarily Well Made”, producing a range of aged and extra-matured expressions alongside the signature Glenmorangie Original and the groundbreaking Glenmorangie Signet.
The darkest and most intense whisky in our core range, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban has spent 10 years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.
“Pipes” are the largest types of casks used to mature whisky. With a capacity of around 600 litres, they are close to the maximum legal size for maturing Scotch whisky (700 litres) “Barriques” are a lot less common in Scotland than Barrels or Butts. They are typically used in the wine industry and hold around 225 litres Glenmorangie released the industry’s first port cask finish in 1994. It was a 1975 vintage
