Glenmorangie Quinta 14yo Bottling Note

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.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose: Summer fruit tart with a sprinkling of icing sugar, aromatic cedar, milky coffee and almond pastries.

Palate: Chocolate mousse, Bourbon biscuits, orange oil, more almond notes (now toasted), blackcurrant and raisin.

Finish: Lasting richness of stewed berries and dark chocolate.

Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban 14 Year Old Reviews

fruity

I never had the QR12 but had few bottles of the Lasanta and really liked it. QR14 is much better. It has so many different tastes, and yet so smooth. It is especially good when looking on the price tag.

Huge downgrade

Nothing like the 12 yr old. More of an alcohol taste. The 12 year old was my favorite. When the 14 yr is gone I will not be back

If your looking for a replacment for 12yo try...

Bushmils 16yo...
Yes I know but trust me on the sunscreen ;)

Be prepared for ur wallet to sting though lol

Previous rvw hit the nail on the head, here I'll give u £80 for one of ur limited edition 12yo's jks.

QR14 is good, but QR12 was a masterpiece.

Not as good as the 12 year-old. This is good, but nowhere near as good as the 12. This version lacks depth with less of a port influence. Less of a fruity aroma, as well. I bought 4 bottles of the 12 before they disappeared and I'm glad that I did.

OK but Inferior to the 12 year old

Less smooth and inferior generally to the 12 year old, tested side by side.

Inferior to the 12 year old

Inferior substitute To the 12 year old- totally agree. Tried side by side- with 2 separate bottles of the 14 year old, hoping I got a dud :-(

The 12 year old was my favourite Glenmorangie so far.

The 12 year was exceptional. Now once I’ve finished my last stashed bottle I will sadly have to search other brands again....

Beautifully sweet

Fantastic whisky- happened upon this at the grill in Aberdeen and it’s a very sweet, easy drinking speyside. Worth every penny!

Inferior substitute

This is inferior to the 12 year old. So sad the 12 year old is gone - it was exceptional. This is a second rate substitute that lacks the dark, full depth of it's predecessor

OUTSTANDING

I loved the "portwood" finish back in the day. The original QR was great. My expectations are high for the 14 yr old.

8th December 2019

Different not worse

Less red berry fruit, which I luv'd in the 12, but a fraction smoother, also more velvety on the tongue.

Not worse just different, good wood is scarce & I think the extra 2 years is adequate in compensating for the ever decreasing flavour you get every refill.

Shame though I still think the 12 was (alas poot Yorick) better imo... But only just!

Best bang for your buck

Picked up a bottle for the first time yesterday. Excellent taste with a great price point. I have a new favorite whisky.

A beautiful Whisky

A beautiful Whisky. Sweet and warm. No smoke, but a sweet aromatic perfume. On the palate, just cake and fulfillment. Highland Perfection from Glenmorange for sipping and savoring.

Magnificent

It was the older 12 year expression that first got me into Scotch, this is fantastically smooth. A bit sweeter than I would usually go for but the complexity is wonderful and the price bumps it up half a star to 5

Exceptional Scotch - Explosion Of Flavor

For the longest time I wanted try either the 12 year Lasanta or Quinta Ruban, but I never got around to trying these. I skipped from the Original 10 year to this masterpiece 14 year Quinta Ruban. This scotch might be one of the most elegant, complex whiskies I have ever come across. The nose will yield a chocolate, citrus, and spicy aroma. Upon the tasting, you are greeted with spice yet velvet sensation that soon turns into a wave of chocolate and citrus flavors that complement one another. The medium to long finish ends with a chocolate mint flavor and light citrus ending. I am impressed with the smooth and spicy flavor from this scotch so much I do not even feel the 46% ABV. Do yourself a favor and try this unique scotch for a great experience.

Tasty

Very satisfying. Great for sipping around a campfire. The fresh air of outdoors, the smoke from the fire, combine to heighten the senses to appreciate the experience of this whisky.

31st August 2019

No better

Inferior to the 12 year old to my taste. I've favoured the 12 year old for several years and after a direct comparison over 10 days, it comes out on top by a long way. It's perfect, most likely unbeatable. I only hope they don't meddle any more or discontinue it.

13th August 2019

Ruined

Very disappointed. Tasted face to face with the 12 yr old and there was no comparison. The 12 year old was subtle perfection and the 14 year old is kind of run of the mill. Color. Nose. Taste. All off and inferior to the 12 year old. What the heck happened? I wanted to love it.

10th August 2019

Even better than the 12

The only other port finished whisky I have ever had is the QR 12, so it’s the only thing I can compare this too. All I can is that there is an extra two years of bourbon cask toffee and spice to balance out the tart fruit sweetness from the port finishing. Excellent stuff. If you love the 12, or good whisky in general, be sure to give this a try.
