Well, no one else took the hint (instruction really) about reviewing the newer NAS Nectar D’Or under this heading, so I’m going to make a start. And my considered opinion is: yum. It’s pale gold, like the dessert wine that lent its barrels for the finish, with a definite fruity sweetness on the nose and the palate. The apricot jamminess falls just on the right side of cloying, with a pleasant vanilla and almond-nutty finish. I don’t have the previous release with an age on the bottle, but I will say there’s nothing harsh or young about this (though equally there’s nothing super complex either). This is an excellent whiskey for folks that don’t like whiskey, and a good one for those that do.
