Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban 14 Years Old 70cl 46°

Distillery : Glenmorangie / Country : Scotland / Reference: : 21194

Glenmorangie distillery renews The Quinta Ruban whisky with a new expression embellished by two more years of aging.

The Quinta Ruban pays tribute to the "quintas", the famous Porto Houses in Portugal. This Single Malt has benefited from aging for 12 years in white oak barrels containing Bourbon and 2 more years in Porto Ruby casks. Ruby is also said "Ruban" in Gaelic.

This ripening makes Quinta Ruban the most amber and intense whisky in the range. Rich and velvety, this malt expresses an impressive sweetness and an aromatic complexity.

These two additional years of maturation allow to broaden the aromatic palette of this Single Malt with pronounced notes of Seville orange and dark chocolate. The Quinta Ruban has a typical Glenmorangie complexity interpreted with clarity and assurance.

The Glenmorangie distillery operates with the tallest Pot Stills of Scotland (5.13m). This is the size of an adult giraffe!


These stills with spherical compartments (boil ball) play a decisive role in the crafting of the light and subtle Glenmorangie character. Only the lightest alcoholic vapours are collected. The spring waters used by the distillery are naturally filtered through limestone and impart Glenmorangie with its spicy character. The aged versions are increasingly powerful and develop delicate vanilla notes.


Glenmorangie is today an extraordinary pioneer in the art & science of oak cask maturation, and offers a spectacular choice of special finishes. Glenmorangie has a very strict policy and uses only first and second fill barrels, a process that magnifies the layers of flavours. The Glenmorangie distillate ages in ex-Bourbon, American white oak casks for at least 10 years. Glenmorangie collects a share from the ex-Bourbon casks and transfers it into casks that previously contained other alcohols or wines, thus extending the maturation: this is the “wood finish”. The use of casks that previously contained Sherry, Port, Madeira wines or Bourgogne wines maintains the essential balance of Glenmorangie whisky, while imparting intriguing characteristics to the spirit.


The art of cask maturation at Glenmorangie has been influenced by more than 25 years of research, enabling the Master Distiller to find the perfect casks for the Single Malts, and acquire the reputation of an expert amongst the circles of whisky maturation experts.

Colour: beautiful shimmering pink gold.

Nose: tangerines and Belgian chocolate aromas are reminiscent of joyful Christmas meals... A delicate crackling fire puff joins candied fruits pastry and musky flavours. A cheerful warmth rise from the glass, a dash of water reveals lovely turkish delights sparkled with mint, candied oranges and lovely honeyed sweetness.

Palate: a silky texture developing into rich dark chocolate and nuts. Candied oranges complete the chocolate crisp overlaying the minty freshness.

Finish: of great length, swirling pleasantly between dark chocolate, mint and fresh oranges.
