Glenmorangie The Nectar 16 Years Single Malt Scotch

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 our 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 flavors to their creation.

Tasting Notes:

Color: Bronze Gold

Aroma: Rich and heady, almost decadent, with notes of baking brioche, leesy wine, baked apricot, vanilla pudding, toasted almond and chestnuts and hints of chocolate truffles.

Taste: The texture is unctuous and sticky, but with a balancing lemon zestiness. This leads into rich, sweet flavors of vanilla crème anglaise, baked apricots, warm raisin bread, roasting chestnuts, and a mixture of spices.

Finish: The finish is long and lingering, with some lemon rind, baking bread and a touch of honeycomb.
