I bought the Glenmorangie Taster Pack for $34.95, which includes 4 x 100 mL of Glenmorangie Original 10Y and the three primary finished versions. That breaks down to $8.74 for each, which is overpriced for the original but good value to try the Nectar D'Or. (In NC the 750 mL is $69.95.) Let me clearly state that I'm very glad this sampler was available because the Nectar is by far the least impressive of the 3 finished versions, the least different from the original, and is the most expensive. I chalk this up to the whiskey only being finished for <2 years in dessert white wine casks, while the other two are finished in heavy red wine casks. Other than having a slightly drier taste with more pronounced nose, I don't think the Nectar is remarkably different from the Original. At $70 this is not only $25 more than the Original, but it is $15 and $12 more than the much better Lasanta and Quinta Ruban. Don't misread this as I hate this whiskey, because it tastes nice. But based on value I don't recommend this at all because I think you're wasting your money when you can buy the cheaper finished versions or the original.
