Glenmorangie's Quinta Ruban 12 Year Old is a fantastic Port cask finished expression, and now the distillery has developed upon the recipe with The Quinta Ruban 14 Year Old! The whisky is initially matured in bourbon casks before being moved over to ruby Port casks, imparting waves of scrumptious fruit and chocolate notes to the spirit. Superb as a postprandial dram.
Summer fruit tart with a sprinkling of icing sugar, aromatic cedar, milky coffee and almond pastries.
Chocolate mousse, Bourbon biscuits, orange oil, more almond notes (now toasted), blackcurrant and raisin.
Lasting richness of stewed berries and dark chocolate.
A brilliant bottle with strong tastes from the port cask and a slight hint of smoke. Very fruity.
I really like this whisky, its a proper step up from 12 year old that I think is pretty lightweight. For the money I'm very happy with the 14 year old. Im rubbish at flavour palates just know what I like and I like this
Read a few reviews before purchasing this one, most were complimentary and I am not disappointed Excellent overtones and back notes that do linger on the palette but still is very smooth to drink.
For a 14 year old it should be smoother, but I think many will like the flavour. However if you like a really smooth dram this one isn’t for you.
Light port on the nose. Nothing interesting going on on the palate though. It's bland. Definitely not bad; if I'd paid about 35 pounds, I'd probably be singing its praises, but not at this price point.
