| The glenmorangie "Quinta Ruban" is transferred from its original bourbon cask to be extra matured or "finished" in the finest Ruby Port casks from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal. Like sipping velvet, this voluptuously smooth malt whisky imparts a complex balance of dark chocolate and mint flavours, with a luxurious hint of Port in the long, lingering finish. Importantly, The Quinta Ruban is non chill-filtered and bottled at a strength of 46%. This imparts added body, taste and texture to the spirit. |

Named from the Glen of the Morangie Burn, ‘glen of great tranquillity’ in Gaelic, it’s just what you expect at the bottom of a slope on the wind-swept coastline of Dornoch Firth. The distillery climbs the slope above the warehouses at the water’s edge. Situated north of Inverness in the North East Highlands close to the Royal Burgh of Tain, one of Scotland’s oldest towns and long a place of pilgrimage, documents suggesting production of whisky from the old Morangie farmhouse goes back at least 250 years.
In 1996 cooperage, storage, blending, bottling, administration, marketing and other functions were moved to headquarters near Edinburgh airport. Left at the distillery are a visitor centre and 16 employees, the ’Sixteen men of Tain’, mentioned on the labels of the wood finish bottlings distilling 120 casks of whisky a day. Glenmorangie was one of the first distilleries with the innovation of steam-heated stills, eliminating the bottom of the wash to burn. The stills are the tallest found in the Highlands, a design used in the 1880's for gin that result in a light and elegant spirit. As a best-selling single malt only a small part of production is used for blends and practically none is bottled by independent bottlers. In 1996 a range with sherry, port and madeira finishes complemented the original bourbon aged range. |
