This expression of Glenmorangie has been aged for a minimum of ten years in ex-bourbon casks before being transferred to Port Wood casks and finished for at least two years. While I enjoy all of the Glenmorangie series, the Quinta Ruban is my personal favorite.
Nose: Smells of old musty wood, port, hints of chocolate
Taste: Slighty nutty, chocolate-covered sweet dark
fruit, hints of mint.
Finish: Brief finish of dark chocolate and mint.
Overall: My only complaint is that with such a short
finish, I find myself "missing" this malt very soon after swallowing
which promptly sends me back for more. Eminently quaffable! This malt is
perfect with, or instead of, dessert!
