Glenmorangie 14 Year Quinta Ruban Whisky 70cl
£55.79
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban has been matured for 14 years in two different barrels. At first, it is matured in Bourbon Oak barrels for 10 years before being transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal.
Extra maturation in these port pipes develop Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban into a sunlight rose gold colour with an aroma of dark mint chocolate, tangerines and Seville oranges mingle with sandalwood and walnut before giving way to a spicy finish of pepper and nutmeg. On the palate, you detect much more of a port characteristic. The flavours are mint chocolate and walnuts, which lay the foundations for rise, Turkish delight and sweet Seville oranges. The finish is long and silky that lasts a lifetime, leaving an aftertaste of dark chocolate mints and traces of oranges.
The Quinta Ruban 14 Years Old is a whisky journey into the wild – a dark and delectable forest where the wind whistles with gusts of peppermint and dark swirls of chocolate can happen at any moment.
In our giraffe-high stills, it begins soft and fruity, then gets darker and deeper as we let it age for 14 years in bourbon casks and port casks from Portugal.
The finished whisky is a thicket of voluptuous flavour combinations. Walnut and black pepper. Mandarin orange and melted marshmallow. Dark chocolate bar and peppermint.
Like stepping into a chocolate-minty-orange unknown, the journey is as delicious as the destination.
