Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban is a 14-year-old single malt that captures the essence of both Scotland and Portugal through its unique maturation process. After spending a decade in American oak casks, it is finished in hand-selected port casks from the renowned wine estates of Portugal, known as 'Quintas'. This additional maturation phase imparts the whisky with its signature deep, berry flavours and rich, chocolatey undertones.
Distillery Background
The Glenmorangie Distillery, located in the Scottish Highlands, has been renowned for its exceptional Scotch whisky since 1843. Known for its dedication to craftsmanship and innovation, Glenmorangie was among the first to experiment with cask finishing, a technique now emulated worldwide. Their whiskies consistently earn accolades for their delicate, complex character and pioneering spirit.
