Glenmorangie 14-year-old

Malt, berries, oranges, oak tannins, dates, mint, dark chocolate, honey, baking spices. It has a short to medium finish and is less vibrant & fresh but more rounded than the 12yo predecessor. Good balance between the malty Glenmorangie Highland spirit, the bourbon barrels and the port pipes. The European oak fortified wine finish is integrated well and it doesn't overpower the American bourbon oak matured malt base. They all work together harmoniously. This is an easy going crowd pleaser and therefore will feel a bit engineered and bland to puritans.

AROMA:A burst of spicy toffee unfolds, accompanied by fresh grass, milk chocolate, and deep layers of vanilla. Subsequently, profound woody notes emerge, revealing hints of clove and orange. TASTE:An intensely spicy palate delivers a surge of dark ginger-infused chocolate and fondant cream, complemented by further notes of clove, ginger.

Great whisky with high influence of Porto. Complex, deep, not sweet, perfectly balanced. Porto notes, tartness, honey and dark fruits on one side, spiciness, wood and pepper on another. Solid choice!

A lovely, fairly smooth Scotch, with a very pleasant finish.

Aroma: very delicate, fruity, tangerines, oranges, milk chocolate, but also woody, honey and mint Taste: dark chocolate, nuts, oranges, tangerines, dark fruit marshmallow and chocolate bar with mint, like after eight

Tuscan pie

aroma: subtle to indistinct, grass, wine, wood taste: distinctive, spicy, wine, spices, wood Whisky with beautiful wine notes, spicy, for this money why not

Bright and sour fruity and slight malty. Sour and sweet grape, spice. After the spiciness, bitterness rises and leaves a malty feeling.

Very tasty, fruity and sweet. Easy to enjoy with medium complexity. At around €50 in 2023, good value for money.

The Quinta Ruban is a fantastic example of a port cask finish. The port influence comes through beautifully and rounds out the whisky perfectly. For me, it's one of the best port wine finishes. The sweetness and spice interplay beautifully, creating a harmonious overall impression. It's a real pleasure to drink; it has a wonderful nose and a full, smooth finish.

Granger 14 Year Old remains a representative of the gentler style in the Speyside region. The aroma is a signature blend of vanilla, honey, and a hint of citrus, with a gentle, non-cloying sweetness. On the palate, it is smooth and creamy, with a very low alcohol content and almost no harshness. There is no bitterness throughout, and the finish is a clean, sweet malt aroma. Taking a couple of sips before bed allows the low-alcohol, sweet liquor to slowly warm you up without disturbing your mind or weighing down your tongue, making it a very comfortable "slightly tipsy choice before bed."

Really good whisky for nice days with a pleasant port smell, not too extreme, really nice :)

eye-pleasing, strong color; sweet, mild and fruity despite 46 horsepower

Re-tasting it after a long time. New bottle shape, new design. I like the bottle more than the previous release. It's the shape of the 18 year old one without the thick glass bottom. The box is well, modern. The label also. It's not that I don't like it it's just strange compared to the previous one. Only thing I don't like about is that the logo is not centered. "From Scotland’s tallest stills, Glenmorangie’s Quinta Ruban is first aged in ex-bourbon casks, which impart smooth, fruity notes. Transferred into specially selected ruby port pipes from Portugal’s finest estates, Quinta Ruban gains new depth, velvety textures and bold chocolate flavours. This whisky is non-chill-filtered to highlight its complex aromas and rich mouthfeel." N: Very intense, round and sweet. Big malty notes. Oranges with chocolate. Lots of ripe fruit follows as well as red berries and forest berries. Vanilla and toffee coming through. From the back some spices. Absolutely gorgeous. (90) P: Velvety and smooth. Complex. Starts off with forest fruits. Oranges dipped in milk chocolate. Coffee. Cherries, raisins and cinnamon. Wine notes coming through. Spicy. Oak at the back of the palate. This is great as always. (91) F: I'd say that this one is a medium finish. Sweet and gets dry overtime. Honey, red fruits and oranges. Milk chocolate with coffee. (88) This is a great expression from Glenmorangie. Always was and I hope it always will be. "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." 90 / 91 / 88 = 89.6667 --> 90 pts / 100

Great nectar ))

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 is a great whisky that I like to enjoy anytime and anywhere. A complex, pleasant whisky for every occasion, to which I am very happy to return. For a price of around 50 euros, it is worth it. Well done!

Still the same, good old Quinta Ruban and this, by the way, despite the change in the recipe! No richness or youth. The whisky is not complex, but still interesting and drinkable. Be sure to let this whisky breathe well in the glass and it will gain roundness, brightness and depth. 21 22 21 21

for leather

8/6.5/7 // 6/8/7.5 A lil tight without water. When added, I get big fruit, a big oilyish body, and a dry and long finish.

The best one from the Glenmorangie core range. Subtle but noticeable port pipes finish, adding another layer to its clean distillate. Great bottling as a first port cask finished whisky or as a daily sipper.

Too sweet... balance is gone

My first experience with port finish. Lighter and foggier vibe than sherry whiskies. Front tone of ripeness, caramel, and honey layered upon wood. The palate brings honey, followed by wood and spice, while chocolate adds a slight bitterness that coheres with the overall taste. The finish progresses as bitterness fades and sweetness returns. The experience is layered and complex, but near the bottom the spirit feels a bit less so. Elegant.

An excellent port cask finish. Well worth its price.

That’s rather good! It’s not too sweet, has decent complexity, and more of an earthy character than… well, any other Glenmorangie. It’s similar to what I remember from the 12, but maybe with a slightly stronger oak and spice character.

Nose: honey, berries, light malt... Palate: spices, honey, mint, oranges and oak Finish: spices and dark chocolate A good slightly different and spicy Glenmorangie whisky

Dark chocolate, mint notes, raisins, and wet oak create a magnificent combination. This expression is definitely one of my favorite whiskies.

On the nose I have a subtle sherry from the barrel, woody notes, raisins and green apple. On the palate the alcohol is very calm, about 1–2 out of 10. No smoke. Over time the bitterness intensifies a bit, and it feels more like sherry wood/tannins than green bitterness to me.

Beautiful copper color. This is a balanced and slightly seductive whisky. This is easy to like.

Not bad per se and there are worse ones in terms of craftsmanship. But the standard bottlings of Glenmorangie today are far from those I remember from my early days - 08.05.2024

Wonderfull!

Very different morangie, but nice

Avery good malt for the price, sweet candy nose. I port cask here in the taste. A good finish with no heat what so ever.

Excellent value for what you are tasting. Very unique in flavors. Will have to keep a bottle handy to come back to.
