Process & Profile
Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban 14 Year Old Scotch Whisky is a rich, fruit-forward Highland single malt shaped by the combination of bourbon cask maturation and Portuguese Port cask influence. Created under the direction of Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky Creation, Dr. Bill Lumsden, Quinta Ruban takes the distillery’s naturally soft and fruity spirit and develops it into a darker, deeper style through extended maturation.
Aged for 14 years, the whisky draws sweetness and vanilla from bourbon casks before developing additional depth from Port casks sourced from Portugal. The result balances dark chocolate, orange, peppermint, nuts, black pepper, and soft confectionary sweetness in a whisky that is noticeably richer than Glenmorangie’s lighter core expressions.
Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof), Quinta Ruban delivers substantial body and texture while remaining approachable enough for sipping neat or with a small amount of water.
