Glenmorangie - Nectar d'Or Single Malt Scotch Whiskey Sauternes Cask

A captivating single malt whisky for the sophisticated luxury spirits drinker who drinker who enjoys delicious extravagence and sensual pleasures. With a tremendous 'gourmand' appeal, the Nectar D'Or is a delicious, complex base spirit that, after a minimum of 10 years in ex-bourbon casks, is then extra matured in specially hand selected Sauternes wine barriques. This makes it rich and sumptuous with a heady, luscious, beguiling spectrum of aromatic patisserie desserts that helps create a memorable occasion whenever it is enjoyed. Non chill-filtered and with an ABV of 46%, its the key flavor notes are lemony, sumptuous and syrupy.

Smells of smoky, burnt nectarine, apricot and buttery scents that are toasty, nutty and heavenly. Entry is chewy, viscous, concentrated and intensely honeyed; the midpalate is waxy, mildly spicy, jammy, nutty and utterly decadent. Finishes with panache and grace. Score: 96-100. November 15, 2008.
