Glenmorangie Nectar D'or 12 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed
August 15, 2017 (edited August 28, 2019)
Nose - Fresh pears, lightly oaked chardonnay/riesling, light floral honey, baked apples, sweet cream butter.
Taste - Light honeyed riesling sweet, lightly floral, honey-glazed brioche, hint of white pepper spice.
Finish - Lingering honeyed apple juice, light candied orange peel with a bit too much pith making it a bit sweet with citrus bitter.
Score - 86/100
Final Thoughts - So this was quite a change from the sherry & port finishes on the Lasanta & Quinta Ruban. I feel as if the sauternes was magically able to remove the usual bitterness I got on the nose and even the taste and hide it until the end. This was a very light, pleasant honeyed and fresh fruit vibe to it that was nice. Nose was probably the best part as it kept on revealing new things with each sniff. Palate was nice and refreshing, almost "summery" vibe to it.
