Description
Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban 14 Year Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 750ml | 46% ABV
Process & Aging
This whisky is first aged for 10 years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, developing a smooth and fruity foundation. It is then finished for an additional 4 years in ruby port pipes sourced from Portugal’s Douro Valley, adding richness, color, and layered complexity.
Appearance
Deep ruby-tinged amber, with rich mahogany hues reflecting its extended time in port casks.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Intense and inviting, with aromas of dark chocolate, orange peel, berries, and mint. Subtle notes of sandalwood and spice add depth.
Palate: Full-bodied and velvety, featuring flavors of rich dark chocolate, raspberry, and blood orange layered with nutty undertones and gentle spice. The port influence brings a lush, wine-like richness balanced by Glenmorangie’s signature smoothness.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of cocoa, citrus zest, and soft spice, leaving a luxurious and slightly dry finish.
What Makes It Special
Quinta Ruban stands out for its extended port cask finishing, which gives it a darker, more decadent profile than many Highland whiskies. The combination of bourbon and ruby port casks creates a unique interplay of sweet, fruity, and slightly bitter chocolate notes—making it a favorite among those who enjoy richer single malts.
How to Enjoy
Best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its depth and texture. A splash of water can open up its fruit and chocolate notes. It also pairs exceptionally well with dark chocolate desserts or rich cheeses.
