What some of our whisky enthusiast friends have said about Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14

Quote 1  “The only other port finished whisky I have ever had is the QR 12. So it’s the only thing I can compare this too. All I can is that there is an extra two years of bourbon cask toffee and spice to balance out the tart fruit sweetness from the port finishing. Excellent stuff. If you love the 12, or good whisky in general, be sure to give this a try. ”

Quote 2  “Inferior to the 12 year old to my taste. I’ve favoured the 12 year old for several years and after a direct comparison over 10 days. It comes out on top by a long way. All in all, it’s perfect, most likely unbeatable. I only hope they don’t meddle any more or discontinue it.”

Quote 3  “This is inferior to the 12 year old. So sad the 12 year old is gone – it was exceptional. This is a second rate substitute that lacks the dark, full depth of it’s predecessor. ”
