    Overview

    Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or 

     
    A delicious, complex base spirit that, after a minimum of 10 years in ex-bourbon casks, is then extra matured in specially hand selected Sauternes wine barriques. This makes it rich and sumptuous with a heady, luscious, beguiling spectrum of aromatic patisseries desserts that helps create a memorable occasion whenever it is enjoyed. The key flavour notes are lemony, sumptuous and syrupy.

    Honeyed gold in colour. One sniff and you're immediately transported to a traditional Christmas dinner party, in a candle-lit dining room with the aroma of just-peeled mandarin oranges and Belgian chocolate mint crisps. Walnut shells have been thrown on the roaring fire where their scent mixes with the lingering aroma of nutmeg from the Christmas pudding and the warm, musky scent of sandalwood that emanates from the wood-panelled room. 

    Tempted by the aromas wafting through the door of a French patisserie, you step inside to discover a tangy tarte au citron with its crisp pastry case and smooth lemony cream topping. Next to it is with its fluffy sponginess and milky vanilla aroma is a Genoise cake decorate with crystallised lime and orange peel. You can smell plump juicy sultanas, dates, warming ginger, coconut and nutmeg. In the background, gingerbread is baking in a wood-burning oven. 

    Slip some water into the whisky to release the frothiness of lemon meringue pie and the rich aroma of baking fruitcake and warm gingerbread drizzled with crème anglaise.

    The smooth, melting creaminess of lemon tart leaves the mouth full of citrus tang that gives way to crème caramel and zesty lime. This is replaced by warming ginger coupled with the mellow nutty flavours of nutmeg and toasted almonds that add warmth and chewiness that melts into oozing lemon meringue and melting honeycomb.

    Languid finish and sweet with lemon zest, vanilla cream and delicate hints of ginger and nutmeg

    ABV: 46% non-chill filtered

    Background Information:
    In 1843 William Matheson granted a licence to distil and the Glenmorangie Distillery Company was established. Beautifully seductive and deliciously captivating, Glenmorangie single malt Scotch whisky is an irresistible feast of taste, texture and aroma. 

    At the core of the distillery is a small group of men, with immense skill and enviable knowledge; The Sixteen Men of Tain still follow the mystical art of turning barley and mineral-rich, Tarlogie spring water into the famously complex and elegant whisky.

    'Or' means gold in both Gaelic and French, while of course 'Nectar' is the drink of Gods.
