Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or Sauternes Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky
(750 ml) - [WE 96] [USC 96] [IWSC 93]

About the Whisky:

Great to see French casks that actually complement a whisky - so rare! An exercise in outrageously good sweet-dry balancing" It is here, in hand selected wine barriques from Sauternes: the most famous and ancient sweet wine growing region of France, that this whisky develops its rich, spicy and dessert-like flavours. Non chill-filtered for additional aroma and mouthfeel.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Lime and orange rind, sultanas and dates give a rich fruity flavour laced with tantalising spices of coconut and nutmeg.

Taste: Ginger, nutmeg and toasted almonds bring a deep, warming taste interwoven with a syrupy lemon meringue and honeycomb middle.

Finish: Long and lusciously sweet finish with lemon zest, white chocolate, vanilla and traces of ginger and nutmeg.

96 Points - Wine Enthusiast

"This 12-year-old single malt was finished in casks that previously held Sauternes, the golden sweet wine of Bordeaux. Smooth and elegant, look for a honey hue and notes of vanilla and lemon cream on the palate, finishing with baking spice and a puff of smoke. Adding water unleashes more creamy vanilla and citrus."

96 Pts, Finalist, Tried & True - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022

"Apricot fruit leather, sumptuous honey, fresh-cut wheat, and candied almonds on the nose. Robust Sauternes cask notes of warm baked orchard fruit pie, caramel, golden raisins, and wildflower honey on the palate. Lovely finish of baklava and maple."

93 Pts - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2022

"A lovely aromatic display of honeyed pear and vanilla sponge gives way to richer flavours of stewed fruit and ripe plum. Creamy and well-rounded; utterly charming!"
