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.

Yeah, it's pretty solid value.

It's the best out of the extended range they have, never got into La Sansta.

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'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.

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.

It's great to be able to compare the cask influences. Enjoy!

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: kzitem.info/news/bejne/qWqFx4efgHulmn4 Cheers!

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.

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.

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