I'm still buzzing from my first in-person whisky tasting in a very, very long time. While this expression was not one of the Glenmorangie expressions that I sipped at the tasting, it's a review that I've been meaning to write. Glenmorangie Nectar D'or is aged for 10 years in American oak bourbon casks and a minimum of 2 years in Sauternes sweet wine casks. Fun fact: 60-70% of all Sauternes casks in France go to Glenmorangie! Nectar D'or is intended to evoke the whimsy and sweet delight of a French pastry shop. Sign me up! The nose introduces crisp green apples and light clover honey. As if one slid down the dimmer on a light switch, its aroma becomes more mellow and moody with rich stewed apricot and grapes within buttery puff pastry; like a glazed danish. There's a dash of aged cask for good measure. My sips begin rich with barley, fruity acidity and transition to lightly drying baking spice, honeyed sweetness, almond and oak. The finish is longer than I'd expect for a whisky this easy to drink. I am one for high quality pastries which was a creative vision for this dram. Imagery of sticky, flaky baklava kept entering my mind through tasting. I'd envision this whisky being a great companion to a charcuterie board (full of French cheeses, of course) as well. Santé! 7.75/10
