This was a solid favorite for me years ago. As I've moved away from wine cask selections, my favoritism for Nectar D'or has faded much like its age statement. But as I continue my trip down memory lane, its time to revisit this old classic. The nose smells delicate and sweet, like a bowl of grapes drizzled lightly with honey. You can also pick up just the slightest hint of orange. The taste is surprising because the front tastes a tad salty to me. It was sudden and fleeting enough that I went back for another, just to ensure I hadn't imagined it and indeed, its there. Vanilla and honey sweetness coats your tongue and the finish taste ever so slightly bitter, citrusy and spicy. Think orange peel with some baking spice. The finish leaves a malty feeling in your mouth and leaves you wanting more. Yeah, this one is solid. Although part of me thinks that when this had an age statement, it was tastier. But then again, I had only tasted a handful of whiskies the first time I had Nectar D'Or and very likely my memory was skewed by my inexperienced tongue.
