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.

Rank rotten, not a patch on the original 12 years old which was a Highland gem, some sort of medicinal cough bottle after taste and just horrid, bring back the original 12 year old and pronto please
It's good, goons
After years of searching I found the perfect whiskey in the 12 year old Quinta Ruban. Heaven!! To my dismay they have changed it, the 14 year old is not a patch on the old one. Gutted!!
Bought this as I love the 12 year old and thought 14 could only be better, how wrong I was this is totally different, none of the beautiful port flavours and lovely finish notes this is cheap tasting and has a hint of peat which was definitely not in the 12 just gutted, waste of 100 bucks.
Lacks the robustness and depth of the 12 year old. Gone are the intense, complex flavours and the nice, long after taste. Overall like it's diluted; even the colour is aenemic. Anything Diagio touches seems to go backwards, like Talisker and Lagavulin 16. Maybe I just have an unsofisticated palate! Anyone who gives this a good review never appreciated the far superior 12 year old. I won't be buying this again!
