Descripción

The Glenmorangie distillery, founded in 1843 in the Scottish Highlands near Tain, is famous for its exquisite single malt Scotch whiskies. These are distilled in the highest stills in Scotland, resulting in a particularly fine and mild distillate. Glenmorangie is known for its innovative cask finishing technique, which matures whiskies in different types of casks such as port, sherry and wine casks, giving them a unique depth of flavor.

Glenmorangie also has a strong focus on sustainability, with initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions and reuse water, making the distillery a pioneer not only in the whisky industry but also in global spirits production. The distillery remains true to its heritage while continuously working to minimize its environmental footprint while maintaining the quality of its whiskies.

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban is an exquisite single malt that gets its special touch from careful maturation in port casks. These casks come from Quinta, a renowned Portuguese winery known for its high-quality port wines. The name «Ruban» is derived from the Gaelic word for ruby and refers to the deep, ruby-red color that the whisky takes on during its time in the port casks.

After initially maturing for ten years in ex-bourbon casks, the whisky spends a further four years in these port casks, giving it added complexity and rich fruity notes. This method of maturation not only gives the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban its characteristic color, but also a rich, multi-layered aroma. This whisky is bottled without chill-filtering.
