- Description
- This 1990s Glenmorangie was initially aged in American oak before finishing in port pipes—an experimental cask approach that would eventually become the distillery's established Quinta Ruban release. Matured at 46.5%, the spirit balances Glenmorangie's signature orchard fruit and floral notes with rich, dark berry complexity from the port wood finish. A historically important bottling that documents the distillery's wood-finishing innovations of the period.
