Glenmorangie
Scotland
Single Malt
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.
A really easy sipping whisky. Thank you.
Absolutely splendid!!
Nose: Citrus and peel, candied fruit. Palate: Vanilla, fruit, fall spice, touch of sting. Finish: Oak and tannins, maple but not sweet, long lasting.
Well now; I am quite partial to a sweet white wine finish, having enjoyed some Bruchladdich expressions. So I was taking the negative reviews with a pinch of salt. If this is the sort of thing you don't like, you won't like it. Mistake. This is rather poor. Nose - lemon shortbread Palate - this where the problems lie; it needs something else (dried fruit?) to balance the sweetness. Finish - long and not bad It's not terrible but not a great buy.
Such a disappointing addition to the Glenmorangie cask finish series, not as bad as the Glen Moray Chardonnay finsh, but as white wine finishes go... Just stop! There is no 'maturation' just Sauternes 'taint'. Nose and palate seem fine and typically 'morangie, but the finish... My word, dram down the drain.
