Glenmorangie Nectar D'or 12 Year

Harsher than expected.

You can damn near smell fresh fruit like peach and mango just on the nose alone. Not shocking when it’s aged in a sweet dessert wine cask like Sauternes really. Loads of honey, apricot and marmalade on the palette, orange, pineapple, even faint hints of ginger make appearances to try and add a little savory to this overly sweet dram. An excellent way to finish a night in a good restaurant, but I can’t see myself spending money on a bottle when I could just get a bottle of the Quinta Ruban, or the Original and bottle of actual Sauternes. Feels a tad gimmicky methinks.

Yum. Notes of honey and citrus. Dessert wine casks seem to have the best effect on brown liquor.
