Description

Inspired by his memory of entering a French pastry shop, Dr Bill Lumsden first brought a whisky of dessert-like complexity to life in Glenmorangie The Nectar D’Or. Now, he has taken its swirls of sweet scents and spice to new heights of deliciousness, in the award-winning Glenmorangie The Nectar. Aged longer, for 16 years, in an enhanced combination of bourbon and sweet white wine casks, this new whisky is even more sumptuous and complex. For extra depth and creaminess, silky Glenmorangie aged for 14 years in bourbon casks was selected. The whisky was then finished for two more years in a new combination of sweet white wine casks. Sauternes and Monbazillac casks from France bring sumptuous notes of pastry, brioche, meringue and baked apples. Moscatel casks from Spain offer sweet, syrupy dessert-like notes. And Tokaji casks from Hungary, add white chocolate, almond and honeycomb flavours to their creation. Color: Gold Note: Lemon tart emerges with vanilla, lime and orange zest. Sultanas and dates follow, laced with ginger and coconut. Taste: Warming gingerbread gives way to nutmeg and toasted almonds, entwined with meringue and honeycomb. Finish: Sweet and mellow, balancing lemon zest, vanilla cream and final traces of ginger and nutmeg Country: Scotland Aging: 16 Years Distillery: Glenmorangie Cask Finish: Bourbon and Sweet White Wine Casks Bottle Size: 750mL ABV: 46%
