Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 Year Old

General description

Довольно знаменитый и известный релиз от дистиллерии Glenmorangie, ранее был 12-летним, сейчас это 14-летний релиз.
Виски выдерживается в течении 12 лет в дубовых бочках из-под бурбона первого и второго наполнения, а потом финишируется в бочках из-портвейна Ruby.
Мне попался релиз 2020 года. Данный виски не проходит холодную фильтрацию, соответственно, крепость составляет 46%
Завораживает его цвет. К сожалению, не нашел информации подкрашивается ли сей напиток или нет. Но цвет очень темный, практически как у не самого крепкого чая.
Тело маслянистое, виски красиво себя ведет в бокале, цепляясь за стенки медленно стекающими ножками. Это маслянистость начинает чувствовать в аромате, ибо он появляется сразу... обволакивающий и жирный.

General description

The 10 + port. Add water and it’s ok.

Edit: Upon further review, this whiskey has fruity, floral, port, citrus and vanilla notes on the nose, is creamy and light on the palate with vanilla, barrel spices, port, citrus and a hint of chocolate, the finish is short and spicy. Still like it better with a bit of water.

Much better when not following the 18 year.

I prefer the 12 years old Quinta Roban but this one is great one as well

Сухофрукты, портвейн и вино в аромате. Средней плотности сладковато-солодовое тело с нотками специй и легкой остротой на финише.

General description

Port sweetens and smooths out the edges of the classic glenmorangie taste.

General description

A true (Turkish) delight and much, much more

Nose

Well, here we go... Fragrant... Floral almost in a heady way. Whoa, very floral with the port influence. Delicate grape and a little apricot and then a big hit of port itself. Fruity and floral... Boozy plum? Excellent nose like all Glenmorangies. And on the next occasion, Turkish delight! Really!

Palate

Spice hit, mint, orange and some Terry's chocolate orange. Very good, really very good. Raisin bread, nutmeg spice and very Christmassy in a literally sweet way. Okay... On we go... PS Also creamy butterscotch.

Finish

Cinnamon remains with intervals of spice and little drying. Easily the best of the Glenmorangies I've tried so far... This lasts and lasts, is warming and holds a lovely combo between spice and a buttery creaminess. Truly excellent...

General description

Interesting whisky, matching a fruity port finish with an otherwise light spirit. There are notes of citrus/orange with lighter sweetened berries like a jam and a spike of oak spice coming through. It is a mixture of two very different profiles which makes for an interesting whisky. It really reminds me of a recent madeira matured whisky. The port clearly serves more as a finish rather than a complete maturation, so the glenmorangie remains the prominent theme of the whisky. It did seem like the finish dissipated over time as the bottle was opened for a few months, but overall it is still a good whisky at its price point.

Classic highland

Dried fruits, mostly cherry, honey and grass, also some varnish. Some raisins, earthy like dry dirt, and some tannins.
After some time, it becomes sweeter. More candy, somewhat floral.

Non-citrus fruits, maybe apricot, sweet bubble gum and a tiny bit of peat, nutmeg and leather.
Sweetens after some time, well-spiced apple pie becomes more prominent.

Orange peel and earthy, the nutmeg and peat remain.

August 22, 2020 - Beautiful colour, "Burnt Amber", using our colour guide within: Delicate sweet nose, a nice oily film; powerful kick in the taste, but a sweetness; then citrus - certainly winey, but not necessarily Port, for me. The finish is long, again winey, zesty, strangely smooth & so pleasant. Save this for your best mates 👍It's a definite must try and relatively good value!
I am going to add a couple drops 💦 next taste!

Nose

The nose was fresh & sweet - spirit evident (46%).

Palate

Powerful, nothing harsh - nice almost spicy kick. Earthy & woody, citrus orangey, or maybe drier still, grapefruit ?? and a benign sweetness remains.

Finish

Long full & sweet & sharp. An Oak wood comes in late - Lots going on - I like it; a lot👍!

General description

Trochę pieprzna o wyrazistym smaku.

General description

very good. heat. smooth. oak. red wine. nice finish. I will buy this if I see it.

General description

Smooth, with some oak, and a light influence of dates on top of the Glenmorangie 10 base taste profile. It's very drinkable but the flavor doesn't spread out with the oil. Instead, it's like a jelly donut with the donut part being replaced with oil. I suspect I would prefer Quinta Ruban 12. Still, it's worth tasting.

General description

Rich and packed with apricot, plum and fruit. Smooth with a touch of heat.

General description

I was very surprised to find this on the shelf for a little over US$50. I snapped up two bottles and i'm so glad i did. But I was driven more by the surprise of seeing a Glenmorangie offering i had not seen before more than the value price. The nose has a heavy influence of port with added scents of wild berries and tangerines. Taste is smooth and sweet with nutmeg and dark chocolate added to the port wine notes carried over from the nose. Finish is medium to long and slightly tart, probably from the port wine influence. Well done Glenmorangie for finishing off in port casks!

Nose

Wild berries, tangerines, grapes, wine.

Palate

Smooth and sweet with heavy influence of port wine; slightly fruity with notes of nutmeg and dark chocolate.

Finish

Medium to long but not very long. Slightly sour and unusually tart probably from the wine.

General description

Initially surprised at the alcohol forward arrival but once that shock wore off the rest of the experience was absolutely delicious. Beautiful port notes, mouth watering dried fruits. Good complexity and a very enjoyable long finish. I am dreaming of this dram with a nice cigar after a good meal.
