One of the most recognisable names in Scotch whisky, Glenmorangie were quick out the gates to advertise and promote their Single Malt to a global audience as early as the 1960s. While this undoubtedly played a part in the rather sizeable market share they enjoy today, some credit has to be given to the whisky itself. Their famous stills stand as tall as a fully grown adult giraffe, and as well as giving them ultimate Top Trumps bragging rights, this has the benefit of producing a smoother and more delicate spirit.
Pioneers of cask finishes, the distillery has never shied away from experimentation, and under the guiding hand of Maestro Dr Bill Lumsden they continue to release a variety of expressions to keep "The Sixteen Men of Tain" rushed off their feet.
The darkest and most intense whisky in the extra-matured range, the Quinta Ruban has spent years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas (or wine estates) of Portugal.
Won Gold Best in Class at the IWSC 2008 and Gold Best in Class in 2009.
Cask Type: American white oak / Ruby Port Pipes
46% ABV / 70cl
