Glenmorangie 14 Year Old "Quinta Ruban - Extra Matured Range - Port Cask" Highlands Single Malt Scotch Whisky
92
Whisky Advocate
This Quinta Ruban succeeds the 12 year old version, adding two additional years of finishing in port casks, while maintaining the same bargain price. The result is a symphony of understated opulence. Marzipan, fresh apple and pear, milk chocolate, red berries, candied ginger, and praline on the nose build slowly, leading into a fruity, spiced palate. Flavors of soft gingerbread, molasses cake, cherry pie, spiced plums, almond nougat, and dark chocolate intermingle with faint strains of pipe tobacco. It sings on the finish, with a parting crescendo of hazelnut, spice, cigar wrapper, and lengthy oak. *Number 9 in the 2019 Top 20* (SSB, Winter 2019)

Notes
Glenmorangie has updated their core range and bumped the age statement on the classic Quinta Ruban Port finished Scotch to 14 years instead of 12. The Quinta Ruban is an intense, incredibly dark whisky in the extra matured range from Glenmorangie. It first spends 10 years in in American oak, then another four in port pipes. A non chillfiltered bottling, the Quinta Ruban has a citrusy nose, with undercurrents of incense, walnuts, spice and Andes dark chocolate mint. The nose carries gracefully over to the palate, which is velvety, sweet and long. The added age is a marked improvement in intensity.
