Glenmorangie 14 Years Quinta Ruban Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

What happens when Highland tradition meets Portuguese innovation in a single bottle?

Glenmorangie 14 Years Quinta Ruban represents the pinnacle of Highland single malt craftsmanship, where 10 years in American white oak bourbon barrels is followed by an additional 4 years in ruby port pipes from Portuguese Quintas. This sophisticated maturation process creates a whisky that rivals expressions like Glenmorangie’s 12-year Original while offering deeper complexity through its port wine finishing. The result earned an impressive 92/100 from Whisky Advocate, establishing it among Scotland’s most celebrated 14-year aged expressions.
