These days with scotch prices rising like lost balloons above an amusement park, one must look harder than ever to find reasonable deals to keep the scotch bug fed. Lately I’ve been surprised to see Glenmorangie bucking the industry trend and keeping their prices more or less stable. This, especially from “luxury” brand LVMH, endears them to me more than ever.

While I’ve always been a proponent of the Sauternes-finished Nectar d’Or, I’ve only had a passing familiarity with the “other two” wine finishes from Glenmorangie: Both at 12 years of age, Quinta Ruban is finished in port casks and Lasanta in not-particularly-novel sherry casks. Neither is going to win any awards for best-in-category,

Nose: The port finish comes through as a bouquet of fruit aromas. While not specifically smelling like port, the malt has elements of fresh grapes, raisins, cherries, and so on. The fruit character is fresher and more tart than the sticky, dried-fruit profile of sherry aging. Some vanilla oak underlies – but does not compete with – the fruit. Well-balanced, refreshing, and thankfully not cloying.

Palate: Medium bodied, with initial aspects of caramel or nougat. A tad on the burny side. The fruit is fainter, but more reminiscent of ruby port.

Finish: Medium-long. Caramel again, and marshmallow. The fruit returns only as a faint candy coating as the whole fades into mild barrel char.

With Water: Water awakens some indistinct tart fruit on the nose, but also something like sulphur. Perhaps it’s the chlorine in the water where I’m tasting (I’m on vacation!), but I don’t enjoy the addition of water here.

Overall: Port finishing is not common, but is always a welcome pairing for a single malt, especially one as well-suited to cask manipulation as Glenmorangie. Unlike other port finishes, Quinta Ruban is priced to be accessible. While it cannot compete with, say, a Springbank port-finish for complexity, at $46 it is a satisfying dram with pleasing flavors and especially aromas. You can do a lot worse with $46.
