Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban Port Cask Finish 14 Year

Great whisky, a bit wilder and deeper but also more metallic than LASANTA

Very port & sherry, fruit on the nose. Warm and spicy, dark fruit (overripe cherries?), nuts, & oak. Short, warm finish.

Meh. Not getting any of the port flavor that I would expect from a port wood. Too much ‘medicine’ for my taste.

Nose: brine, faint dark fruits, a hint of maple lurking in the background Palate: brown sugar, really mild mossy peat, some pastry shop, and strawberry cream hard candy Finish: white pepper, citrus peel, mixed nuts, menthol, a hint of leather. With time some cherry emerges. The finish is surprisingly long, actually This bottle gets sweeter as it oxidizes. As others have suggested, decant it, put it back in the bottle and let it sit for a few weeks-months. It really improves with time. The bottle makes a good every day sipper at this price point and I like the no chill filtration and proof. Thumbs up.
