Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban

Interesting nose in that it is not as intricate as I'd have expected from a port finish. You can definitely get the fruity tones, but not quite as strong as I'd have expected. Very smooth smell, but well aware that it is indeed a whiskey.

The palate is very caramely. A caramelized caramel? I get the mint out of it, but only slightly, and more as a finish, IMO. Not too harsh, but it is not the smoothest that I have ever had. Strong fruit flavors from the port, no doubt. A lot of berry flavors and a detectable amount of lemon or a more sour citrus, that is to say, not orange. Maybe a grapefruit without the bitter? Is this what people are attributing the mint flavors to?

The finish begins with a strong single malt normalcy. After a second or two, the citrus/berry flavors break through for a nice undertone to breathing. The caramel lingers for minutes.
