Here we have Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or, finished in lovely syrupy Sauternes wine casks! The single malt is initially aged in American oak bourbon casks before being transferred to wine casks from Sauternes, which previously held the sweet French wine. If you fancy this one in a Highball, pairing it with grapefruit soda and a wedge of lime works a treat.
Sweet citrus notes, with lemon curd and vanilla shortbread, followed by oak spice and gingerbread. Dried fruit follows with a drizzle of runny honey.
Silky and syrupy, with syrup sponge and vanilla custard, buttery baklava and toasted brown sugar.
Dry oak alongside lemon shortbread and gingersnap biscuits.

Not even remotely close to what the old 16yo was. Highball stuff to be mixed. Sad
Sip a sip, wait a couple of seconds, and take a slow breath in and out through your mouth. The floral notes on the out breath are like perfume. Never had another whisky like it. Must be the Sauternes casks.
Very good value all you want from a whisky smooth like honey but not overly sweet nice sharp fruit that counteracts the sweetness to easy to drink great with a slice of cake
Nose: Toffee vanilla. Palate: Peppered spice is full, sweet and wholesome. No sourness. After: Lemony and thick.
Really one of my top 3 daily sippers! Sweet, but not overly so. The vanilla and honey flavors are balanced by the cinnamon and gingerbread notes. Oh... and try opening the bottle, have a dram, then close it and put it aside for a month. Then, re-open. You will find that it will have gotten so much better! Love this whisky!
