The Quinta Ruban is a testament to the transformative power of wood. After spending ten years maturing in ex-bourbon casks, this whisky is transferred into specially selected Ruby Port pipes from the Quintas of Portugal.
This extra maturation period is not merely a finishing touch; it is a fundamental part of the whisky's character. The Port casks impart a deep, velvety texture and a complex array of dark fruit notes that define the Quinta Ruban experience.
When enjoying this dram, take a moment to appreciate the depth of colour. The interaction between the spirit and the Port-soaked staves creates a rich, rose-gold hue that hints at the indulgence waiting in the glass.
