Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 12 Year

Spivey on the front smoother on the finish. Preferably deluded.

Immediate smell of port. Tastes fruity but a little rough.

Look- I don’t usually do a note on the look of a whiskey but holy crap. This one is remarkable there is a beautiful pink hue to the dram that reminds me of rose champagne. Nose- Yep, rose champagne continues in the nose. Sweet with a tangy zest. Very fruity. Body- Sweet as one might expect with this distillery but not cloyingly so as I have noticed in some renditions such as Lasanta. This is very pleasant. The port presence is clear but again comes off more as a champagne sweetness than a thick red wine. I get a lot of dark rich fruit such as cherry and pomegranate. However, this time the fruit isn’t overripe. Finish- Medium finish. The fruit notes give way to honey and a grassy freshness. Maybe I just had a taste for it but this is the most enjoyable Glenmorangie that I have had. Very sweet but well balanced. This would go great paired with a heavy meal.

This also tastes like a tire.

Not enjoying this as much as last time. Still good, but very sweet and a bit tannic. My recommendation is to save it for a dessert.
