A whisky journey into the wild, The Quinta Ruban is like a dark and delectable forest, where the wind whistles
with gusts of peppermint and dark swirls of chocolate can happen at any moment.
Dr Bill, Glenmorangie Director of Whisky Creation, was born with a taste for adventure.
And with this single malt he sought to create a whisky as unpredictable as his travels. Quinta Ruban is a whisky journey into the wild – a dark and delectable forest where the wind whistles with gusts of peppermint and dark swirls of chocolate can happen at any moment.
In our giraffe-high stills, it begins soft and fruity, then gets darker and deeper as we let it age for 14 years in bourbon casks and port casks from Portugal.
The finished whisky is a thicket of voluptuous flavour combinations. Walnut and black pepper. Mandarin orange and melted marshmallow.
Dark chocolate bar and peppermint. And, like stepping into a chocolate-minty-orange unknown, the journey is as delicious as the destination.
The new packaging for Glenmorangie The Original, The Lasanta and The Quinta Ruban aims to combine ‘elegance, luxurious materials and a sense of fun’.
Louise Dennett, Glenmorangie global head of brand, said: “Our whisky is truly delicious and our reimagined packaging brings its flavours to the fore. We see this as an opportunity to welcome new drinkers with a playful elegance, which reflects our creativity in whisky making; and to ensure our single malt stands out by using bold colours and enhanced branding.”
Nose: Dark mint chocolate and Seville oranges mingle with sandalwood and walnut, with a spicy finish of pepper and nutmeg.
Palate: Mint chocolate and walnuts envelop the palate, laying the foundations for rose, Turkish delight and sweet Seville oranges.
Finish: Long-lasting, silky aftertaste leaving dark chocolate mints and traces of orange.
