Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or Sauternes Cask Finish

Introduction

Nectar D’Or is probably a reference to the golden nectar that was previously held in the casks used to finish the whisky. This is a sauternes finished single malt from the Glenmorangie distillery, a fruity, vinous release from the Highland distillery. The nose is full of dessert wines, a little fruitiness with a good barley sweetness. A mix of honey and apricot skins. Quite full palate with more dessert wine notes, with cereal notes and barley. A touch of malty spice and berry fruits with good oak-y tannins develops.
