Bought a bottle of this last nite. Wasn't in the mood for beer or whine. Plus, it is the fall season, so what the hell. I circled the liquor store about 5 times contemplating whether to get the more expensive (but in my mind endlessly superior) Lagavulin 16, or Lagavulin Distillers Edition 1991.
The Quinta Ruban was on sale, so I had to go that way. Never had a highland before. Not the best dram, nor the worst. Quite aggresive tasting, not unlike a young Speyside.
Drank more than I should have...but I don't know what it is about Single Malts. I never get a hangover. Perhaps it is because I sip it, and GUZZLE everything else. Good for me I guess!
Not much of a review, just stream of consciousness.
I heard the Glenmorangie has recently been purchased by a different company. This "Quinta Ruban" is thus a new version of what was once referred to as the Glenmorangie "Port Cask".
