Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban 14, $147. Fourteen years, with two of them finishing in port casks. Marzipan, then cherry pie and spiced plums, a wisp of cigar on the finish. About $5.79 a pour at home, under a pint at the pub. The full tasting's in this week's piece.
Hand a Mortlach The Wee Witchie 12 drinker the Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban 14 and they'd put it at 78% of what their own bottle costs them, trimming a touch for its port-cask fruit. More on the Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban 14 in this week's piece.

Craigellachie 13, $111. Speyside with its sleeves up: caramel and grapefruit pith on the nose, vanilla, then a rush of grilled pineapple, and an odd, lovable note of freshly washed wool jumper. More in this week's piece. What's your take on that pineapple?
Love Craigellachie 13? I'd reach for The Balvenie 12 American Oak at $99. It gives a Craigellachie 13 drinker about 90% of what that bottle does, for 89% of the price. Honeyed nose, navel oranges, lemon drops, then oak spice and a whisper of smoke. More in this week's piece.
