Glenmorangie Scotch Single Malt 12 Year Nectar d'Or 750 ML

Our sumptuous, special reserve whisky is aged first in American oak bourbon casks for smooth, fruity notes. We then finish this single malt in hand-selected wine casks from Sauternes, the most famous and ancient sweet wine-growing region of France. These rare casks bring layers of mellow sweetness to Glenmorangie’s renowned smooth style. Non chill-filtered for enhanced aroma and texture, our Nectar D’Or is enjoyed around the globe. Aroma: Lemon tart emerges alongside fresh vanilla pods, lime and orange zest. Sultanas and dates follow, laced with ginger, coconut and a hint of toasted oak. Taste: Silken textures bring sumptuous layers of crème caramel and warming gingerbread. Then nutmeg and toasted almonds entwine with meringue and honeycomb. Finish: Sweet and mellow, balancing lemon zest, vanilla cream and final traces of ginger and nutmeg. Wine Enthusiast 96 points - TOP 100 SPIRITS OF 2017 - This 12-year-old single malt was finished in casks that previously held Sauternes, the golden sweet wine of Bordeaux. Smooth and elegant, look for a honey hue and notes of vanilla and lemon cream on the palate, finishing with baking spice and a puff of smoke. Adding water unleashes more creamy vanilla and citrus..Kara Newman, December/2017 Ultimate Beverage Challenge 94 points - Appropriately named, this whisky is a treatise on all things golden. From grilled and caramelized pineapple to honey kissed oats, whispers of saffron shadows under sun-baked hay, and only a graceful kiss of smoke that follows heather and honeysuckle on the way out. -2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Excellent, Highly Recommended) (Tried & True Award).April/2019 ”Great to see French casks that actually complement a whisky - so rare! An exercise in outrageously good sweet-dry balancing” It is here, in hand selected wine barriques from Sauternes: the most famous and ancient sweet wine growing region of France, that this whisky develops its rich, spicy and dessert-like flavours. Non chill-filtered for additional aroma and mouthfeel. Sumptuous and warming, the Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or has spent ten years in American white oak casks before spending its final two years in Sauternes casks from France.
