This is a 50ml! Like the other whiskies in the Extra Matured range the 12 year old Quinta Ruban starts with the 10 year old American Ex-Bourbon matured whisky before finishing for two years before finishing for two years in Ruby Port Pipes from wine estates or Quintas in Portugal. 46% Featured on Day 9 of the 2017 KWM Whisky Advent Calendar.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: dried cherry and cranberry leap out of the glass; some musty old wood with dark chocolate, prune juice and cooked dates.
Palate: big, nutty and wood; more dark chocolate with some firm old leather and sweet Cuban tobacco; the musty old wood is still there with some licorice nibs and decadent spice.
Finish: medium-long and warming; the spicy oak holds on with a touch of chilli heat.
Comment: I forgot how interesting this whisky is; I am not generally a fan of Port matured or finished whiskies, but this one is good!
