The Quinta Ruban is a favourite in the core Glenmorangie range. I like the 18 and the Signet more (and some of their special releases are good), but if you add value to the equation, the QR is great.
I had the Quinta Ruban presiding over the pantheon in my cabinet for several years. It shared that honor with Auchentoshan Three Wood right up until the recent upheaval that brought the peated expressions to power. I had started with the Lasanta and then branched into the QR. I only recently tried the d'Or and was pleasantly surprised. I really have not spent much time with the Glenmo original, as I was diverted to Old Pulteney and then to Glencadam and Deanston.
I have the 14 yo , the 12yo and the NAS of this. I really enjoy port finished casks. I opened another 14 and 12 or these and compared. Definitely benefits from another 2 years in the cask but will be keeping the NAS and the 12 for a few years and drink the 14yo until then.
I've started watching your RUclips videos and was wondering if you have a shareable whisky tasting checklist like what you used on "Tasting for beginners"? Thank you, new fan of unpeated whiskies.
I feel it’s a rly unique sherried one. So balanced and buttery. One of my first single malt repurchases. Just getting into good scotches lately and this was like 2nd or 3rd bottle cus I started experimenting with sherried types. I just veered towards experimenting with smoky ardbeg / Islay peated scotches and before I even tried more than two of the smoky ones I found myself wanting more of the QR 14. It’s so easy to sip and I love the chocolatiness
If you're looking for sherry influence, you might want to check out GlenDronach or Tamdhu 12, and if you're looking for options within a certain budget, check out my list of Macallan 12 alternatives: ruclips.net/video/H4OaSiGItgI/видео.html Cheers!
I've only had two Glenmorangie's, the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 YO and the Glenmorangie Nector D'or. I perfer the Glenmorangie Nector D'or. Both are good, but the D'or is just better for my pallet.

Yeah, it's pretty solid value.
It's the best out of the extended range they have, never got into La Sansta.
Your reviews are the best!!

I'm also a fan of the Nectar D'Or, even without the age statement. Not quite as good of a value as the QR, but it's very nice.

It's great to be able to compare the cask influences. Enjoy!
Appreciate the basic 10 for its approachability, and the Signet for the unique espresso notes. Not much drawing me to the rest of their line.

There are a lot of them. Check out the whisky tasting wheels on whiskymasters.org and whiskymag.com, but there are many more out there.
Bought this today and tasted it along with the 12 year. It's great and it had several tasting notes similar to bourbon, is that right?
I don't know that it's necessarily right or wrong, but I definitely get vanilla and some caramel in the Quinta Ruban I'd say overlap with bourbon ...

You chose the right ones, and the Nectar D'Or is also very solid.
