Glenmorangie12-year-old Quinta Ruban - 3rd Edition
Summary
This 12-year-old single malt whisky from Glenmorangie is a refined expression that has been finished in Ruby Port casks, adding a layer of complexity and richness. The maturation process begins in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, which imparts a smooth and creamy texture to the spirit. The subsequent finishing in port casks infuses the whisky with deep, fruity notes and a vibrant ruby hue, making it a visually appealing and flavorful dram.
On the nose, this whisky offers an inviting bouquet of dark chocolate, mint, and Seville oranges, with a hint of sandalwood and walnut. The palate is rich and velvety, featuring flavors of Turkish delight, toasted almonds, and a touch of spice, balanced by the sweetness of ripe berries and dark fruits. The port cask influence is evident, providing a luxurious and well-rounded profile.
The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of chocolate and orange zest, complemented by a gentle warmth. This whisky is an excellent choice for those who appreciate a well-balanced and richly flavored single malt, showcasing the harmonious interplay between the spirit and the port cask finish.
