Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 12 Year

Look: Burnt orange, with some gold notes as Quinta Ruban reflects off the light. Lacing is prevalent as well as alcohol legs. Nose: Pear, plum, vanilla, plenty of port. Some spice as well, honey. Palate: Fruit is right up in your face, then the pear, honey hit and stick around, with vanilla creeping in. Finish: Dark fruit, and pear are what I pickup in the finish as well as oak. The finish is somewhat drying and bitter, with the flavor lingering for a minute or so. Overall: Quinta Ruban is a great whiskey, as are all the Glenmorangie’s I’ve had. While I like these finished products, I think my preference may be for the original Glenmorangie 10. Definitely try this though.

Sharper and hotter than I feel like it should be.
