Glenmorangie Nectar D'or 12 Year

Not very peaty - little bit of heat at the end.

Bought a Glenmorangie taster pack conataining this one, the 10yo, the Lasanta and the Quinta Ruban. Kudos to Glenmorangie for offering this pack - more destilleries should offer such packs! Nose: Melted butter. A lot of melted butter. Then comes an almondy sweetness, like marzipan. It’s very sweet. A hint of a (white) winey note as well. Palate: Like the nose; Marzipan and sugars. Some light fruits, but they are mostly overpowered by the sweetness. The texture is quite smooth. Finish: Quite short actually. Same notes as on the palate. A bit dissapointing. Overall: I had higher hoped for this one. It is a good and tasty whisky for sure and a good sipper, but a bit too sweet and one-dimensional to achieve a higher score than 2.75 (i.e. definitely ok, but very far from great). I’d recomend the Quinta Ruban over this, which has got significantly more depth in my opinion. It still beats the Lasanta though and it’s probably about on par with the 10yo imo.

So good!

Last bottle of scotch I got to share with my father...I always enjoy this one
