The Dark and Intense Glenmorangie.
The Glenmorangie Distillery was founded in 1843 when the Matheson brothers converted the Morangie farm into a distillery. It lies just north of Tain, on the wind-swept coastline of Easter Ross. Their stills are the tallest found in Scotland – as tall as a giraffe, apparently – of the same design as those used in the 1880's which were in fact second-hand Gin stills. Which means that only the very lightest vapours make it to the top, resulting in a smooth and elegant Scotch Whisky.
In 2004 the distillery was sold to LVMH, a French multinational luxury goods conglomerate and has since adopted a brave strategy of giving their drams French-sounding names, which on the looks of things, has payed out for them.
The darkest and most intense Whisky in the extra-matured range, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban has spent 10 years maturing in American white oak casks, before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.

Peter,
Beautiful Amber red. Delicious wine and chocolate taste with the classic hint of that Glenmorangie delivers. This is what scotch should be. Excellent.
Aaron,
I like the nectar d'or a bit better, but this is a better value overall.
Eric,
Easy to drink. Dark chocolate, orange, some vanilla and what may be some cherries beyond the expected port notes. Great dram for converting bourbon lovers to scotch. Love this enough to make sure I always have a bottle on hand.
Mikel,
Interesting hints of port, definitely drinkable and good value.
Uros,
