"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.

Video Description
Tasting Notes Aromas of lime and orange rind, sultanas and dates give a rich fruity flavour laced with tantalising spices of coconut and nutmeg. Taste of ginger, nutmeg and toasted almonds bring a deep, warming taste interwoven with a syrupy lemon meringue and honeycomb middle. Finish is long and lusciously sweet finish with lemon zest, white chocolate, vanilla and traces of ginger and nutmeg. Color is honeyed gold
Wine Maker Notes 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.
