Glenmorangie's Nectar D'Or is a standout in their line-up, a wonderfully elegant dram. The sweetness of honey comes across on the initial taste, along with candied orange peel, vanilla, pear, and a touch of salt.

Product Description
A sweet and suptuous whisky aged in bourbon casks for smoothness and finished in rare Sauternes wine casks to create suptuous sweetness. Our signature spirit, distilled in Scotland's tallest stills, is aged first in bourbon casks for smooth, fruity notes. We then finish this single malt whisky in rare Sauternes wine casks to create sumptuous layers of mellow sweetness. The Nectar D'Or This whisky enchants with a nose of lemon tart, fresh vanilla pods, orange zest and coconut. Silken textures lead to tastes of warming gingerbread with nutmeg, toasted almonds and meringue, before a sweet, mellow finish. Our Nectar D'Or Sauternes Cask Finish is enjoyed across the world. The Art and Science of Wood We were one of the first to pioneer the art of wood finishing more than 30 years ago, in this time becoming experts in the craft. With The Nectar D'Or, The Lasanta sherry cask finish and The Quinta Ruban port cask finish, we share some of the finest single malts created this way. Each of these whiskies brings new depths of flavour to our signature spirit. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

What critics and judges wrote
Elegant and creamy crème brûlée with chocolate-covered Brazil nuts, lemon tart with vanilla pods sprinkled liberally. Juicy and ripe mango with a beautiful satin-like texture on the finish.
Nose brings toffee, salted caramel or perhaps caramel fudge alongside chlorine and ozone. To taste is crème brûlée, some bitterness, and a plastic edge like sucking air through the barrel of a biro.
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.
