Glenmorangie14-year-old Quinta Ruban - 4th Edition
Summary
This 14-year-old single malt whisky from Glenmorangie is a refined expression that has been matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being finished in ruby port pipes from the Quintas or wine estates of Portugal. This dual maturation process imparts a rich and complex character to the whisky, making it a delightful choice for both novice and seasoned whisky drinkers alike.
The whisky boasts a deep amber color, hinting at the rich flavors within. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of dark chocolate, mint, and Seville oranges, intertwined with a subtle nuttiness. The palate is equally impressive, with layers of rich, velvety chocolate, ripe berries, and a hint of spice, all balanced by a smooth, creamy texture.
The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of chocolate and a gentle warmth. This whisky is a testament to Glenmorangie's craftsmanship and their ability to create a well-rounded and deeply enjoyable single malt. It is perfect for those looking to explore the richer side of whisky without being overwhelmed by intense smokiness or peat.
