Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban
Lot number: 071-0701
Winning bid: £55
One of the world's best selling old single malts, Glenmorangie's spirit flows from Scotland's tallest stills, over 16 feet tall for those that are counting.
Over the years Bill Lumsden has been at the forefront of research into the influence of the cask on whisky and as such Glenmorangie is the leading exponent of whisky 'finishes', be that sherry, wine or virgin oak.
The distillery selects its wood from the Mark Twain forest in the Ozark mountains and ensures that the wood is air dried rather than kilned.
The darkest and most intense whisky in the extra-matured range, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban has spent years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.
Won Gold Best in Class at the IWSC 2008 and Gold Best in Class in 2009.
Cask Type: American white oak / ruby port pipes
46% ABV / 70cl
