Dr Bill, our Director of Whisky Creation, was born with a taste for adventure. And with this single malt he sought to create a whisky as unpredictable as his travels. Quinta Ruban is a whisky journey into the wild- a dark and delectable forest where the wind whistles with gusts of peppermint and dark swirls of chocolate can happen at any moment. In our giraffe-high stills, it begins soft and fruity, then gets darker and deeper as we let it age for 14 years in bourbon casks and port casks from Portugal. The finished whisky is a thicket of voluptuous flavour combinations. Walnut and black pepper. Mandarin orange and melted marshmallow. Dark chocolate bar and peppermint. And, like stepping into a chocolate-minty-orange unknown, the journey is as delicious as the destination.

When it comes to whisky, double cask offers a robust flavour profile that makes it a truly sensational sipping experience. Matured in the finest first-fill American oak barrels before being finished for up to 12 months in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This outstanding single malt whisky provides the perfect balance of rich spicy fruits overlaid with the characteristic sea spray and vanilla oak finish for which the house of Glen Scotia is famous.
