Glenmorangie's Nectar d'Or is finished in Sauternes casks for 12 years. This is sweet and spicy with notes of ginger, nutmeg lemon meringue, and honeycomb. It’s worth pointing out that Nectar D’Or means “golden nectar,” as “Or” is the Scottish Gaelic word for “gold.” Along with sweet flavors from the wood, there comes a nice deep golden color, hence the appellation that calls attention to the color of this whisky. This is a sauternes finished single malt from the Glenmorangie distillery, a fruity, vinous release from the Highland distillery.
Tasting Notes Nose: Sweet citrus notes, with lemon curd and vanilla shortbread, followed by oak spice and gingerbread. Dried fruit follows with a drizzle of runny honey.
Palate: Silky and syrupy, with syrup sponge and vanilla custard, buttery baklava, and toasted brown sugar.
Finish: Dry oak alongside lemon shortbread and gingersnap biscuits.
