Glenmorangie The Nectar 16-year-old Scotch Whisky (70cl in gift box) NV
Highland
Loading...
A masterclass in the balance of sweet and dry courtesy of Glenmorangie’s ‘men of Tain’. Nectar d’Or sees their fine single malt aged 14 years in bourbon casks, then finished with two in Bordeaux’s sweet Sauternes barrels. Luscious, sweet and complex.

The Spirit
If you’re not sure whether to finish your meal with a glass of dessert wine or a warming dram, then Glenmorangie’s Nectar d’Or combines the two. Part of the distillery’s extra matured range, Nectar d’Or – ‘Or’ being gold in French and Gaelic – spends its first 14 years developing glorious, rich, warming notes of vanilla in bourbon oak casks. It then has two further formative years finishing in casks sourced from châteaux in Bordeaux that craft fine Sauternes. As you’re probably aware, Sauternes is an intensely rich, golden dessert wine, and those Bordelais barrels impart that golden colour and those remarkably sweet, spicy flavours and aromas to the whisky. Add a drop or two of water to reveal more complexity and depth of flavour.
