Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or Sauternes Cask Finish

Nose - white wine, honey, tart apple, pear, orange and lemon zest, brown sugar, honeysuckle, vanilla perfume, sweet floral notes, powdered sugar, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - white wine, grape juice, vanilla, sweet floral notes, honey, apple, brown sugar, orange zest, black pepper, rich simple syrup, ginger, balsamic vinegar, lemon, moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium length with sweet white wine, citrus zest, and sugar syrup flavors. Similar to the Quinta Ruban, this drinks like a Sauternes bomb, if I actually knew what Sauternes wine tastes like. It’s extremely tart and sweet on the nose with white wine, honey, and underripe orchard fruits in the mix. The palate hits with strong sour citrus and sweet white wine notes. The mid palate brings some grape juice, ginger zing, and a hint of sour balsamic vinegar. Overall, I like this better than the standard 10 Year and the Lasanta, but about equal to the Quinta Ruban. This a sweeter profile than I generally prefer, but it’s well executed and very sippable. As with the others, I think there’s too much sourness coming through, which would likely be remedied by more aging, but that’s not a major complaint. It’s a solid dessert dram.

Sweet but nothing really stood out. Water opened it up after a few minutes.

청아한(like 청포도) 과일, 바닐라, 약간의 스파이시 피니쉬는 길진 않음 버번캐스트크의 느낌이 다소 많이 남아있음
