Glenmorangie changed up the age statement on the Quinta Ruban from 12 years to 14 years. so naturally I had to buy both and compare. The 12 year old was finished for 2 years in port barrels. So we all assume that the 14 year meant 4 years of finishing in port. Well after comparing the two I think it still is only 2 years of finishing in port.
The color is a hint lighter than the 12 year. It seams to have lost a little bit of that redness that the 12 year had. The smell is lighter and the taste is lighter as well. As for the finish....well yep you guessed it. Now the finish is probably the closest similarity to the 12 year old which is a good thing. It really is only a hint lighter.
So in conclusion the new 14 year old is still very good and still is full of flavors. I will be buying it again but I will also be buying up all the remaining 12 year olds as well.
