Comments on: Glenmorangie ruined the Port Wood Finish? http://www.whiskygrotto.com/2007/12/07/glenmorangie-ruined-the-port-wood-finish/ A blog devoted to news on the world of Scotch Malt Whisky and Whiskey Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:12:34 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 hourly 1 By: Dinh Trong Nghia http://www.whiskygrotto.com/2007/12/07/glenmorangie-ruined-the-port-wood-finish/comment-page-1/#comment-21294 Dinh Trong Nghia Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:10:17 +0000 http://www.whiskygrotto.com/2007/12/07/glenmorangie-ruined-the-port-wood-finish/#comment-21294 I do NOT agree with The Droppecket. It was his own feeling and taste. Quinta Rubin is still smooth and sweet. It flavour and taste have balance btw mellow and dry. (To rejesh), You may find it harsh, because it is non chill-filtered and has an ABV of 46% (higher alcohol than previous Port Wood). However, for my Tasting, I found it is strong (not harsh). To savor, you should pour drops of pure water into the whisky to gain more aromas and avoid too strong flavour of high alcohol whisky. I do NOT agree with The Droppecket.

I loved the Port Wood. I find both Quinta & Nectar harsh in comparison, nor do I like the flavours. But I love the Cellar 13, only I cannot find it except at Heathrow airport.

One of my favorites and far better than the former Port Wood. Anyone tried the Nectar d'Or? I find Quinta RUban absolutely lovely. One of my favorites and far better than the former Port Wood.

Anyone tried the Nectar d’Or?
