Some air in the bottle does improve the taste. Less silky smooth, but the flavor is now much more outspoken with a generous amount of spice and wood, the sweetness level is lowered as well. So much flavor, delicious! The previous score of 3.75 has gone up to 4.5. My favorite of the Glenmorangie offerings I tried and it is probably the best whiskey I tried so far.
The smoothest of the bunch (Quinta Ruban, 10 and Lasanta) but also the sweetest, a sugary sweetness similar to the 10. The nose is similar to the 10 as well, a white wine tanginess, but the flavour itself lacks a good amount of tartness, bitterness and spice. It is there, some ginger, some oak, but somewhat muted in favour of a smooth delivery. Still delicious, but I think I like the Lasanta and the Quinta Ruban better. Even if the Nectar is fuller, rounder, 'mouth coaty' / oily.
