Uisge beatha or usquebaugh are two different spellings of the old Gaelic term for "water of life." This, to English speaking people, sounded like "uishgi" and over time was corrupted to "whisky." |
The Glenmorangies
|
On November 3, 2009 C’est What held another successful whisky tasting which compared the differences between three single malt scotches produced by Glenmorangie: The Original 10 year single malt, The La Santa, and The Quinta Ruban. The Original was characterized with complex notes of citrus, vanilla and almonds. The La Santa which has extended maturation in sherry casks is known for its rich nutty flavour. The Quinta Ruban is finished in port casks and has chocolate and mint notes. All three were well received, but the Quinta Ruban jumped out as the clear favourite with twenty-one discerning judges (customers) on the whole opining that it had a slightly better ‘nose’, ‘body’, and ‘palate’ than the other two. The event was hosted by Kelly Burns-Coady, Marketing Director with Charton Hobbs. She gave a very informative history of Glenmorangie, describing the distilling process and explaining the different characteristics found in their whiskies.|
