Glenmorangie Nectar D'or 12 Year

Nose: Sweet sugar notes, vanilla, peach, musty funky notes that come from that wine finish, a little bit of grapey background funk as well, and a hint of orange peel. Flavor: Very thick and buttery but far too sweet for my liking. Nondescript sweet wine notes overpower any other flavors I'm trying to get. Finish: Shorter than the other varieties with light barrel char and heavy grapey sweet wine notes. Finishes sweet transitioning to a little bit of a drying barrel note and then gone. Kind of disappointing. Too much sweet wine flavor that masks everything else. Not a fan. This is my first sauternes finished whiskey and I'm thinking I'll avoid in the future.

Smooth and sweet

Fairly smooth, with hint of honey taste

Sweet up front, vanilla. Slightly smoky. Beautiful pale yellow color. Smells like the beach, sunscreen, and grains to me.

Nose- lime, orange Taste- starts off with fruity notes (orange, apple?) that then turns hot with spice and possibly ginger, cereal Finish- medium length with sweet fruit, vanilla, and spice Little more harsh than I expected. Least favorite of the core Glenmorangie lineup.

Sweet, vanilla, fruit.
