Glenmorangie The Nectar Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old
In stock
Inspired by his memory of entering a French pastry shop, Dr Bill Lumsden first brought a whisky of dessert-like complexity to life in Glenmorangie The Nectar D’Or. Now, he has taken its swirls of sweet scents and spice to new heights of deliciousness, in our award-winning Glenmorangie The Nectar. Aged longer, for 16 years, in an enhanced combination of bourbon and sweet white wine casks, this new whisky is even more sumptuous and complex.
For extra depth and creaminess, silky Glenmorangie aged for 14 years in bourbon casks was selected. The whisky was then finished for two more years in a new combination of sweet white wine casks.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with honeyed highlights and a warm copper glow, a glass-bright hue that hints at indulgent sweetness.
Nose
Rich and heady, decadently bakery-sweet with baking brioche, leesy wine, baked apricot, vanilla pudding, toasted almond and chestnut, with subtle chocolate truffle. With a splash of water, candy sweetness blooms, orange syrup, a flinty minerality, and a distinctive herbal lift of sage and basil.
Palate
The palate is unctuous and luxurious, lightly sticky with a lemon-zest brightness cutting the richness. Vanilla crème anglaise unfolds into baked apricots, warm raisin bread and roasted chestnuts, spiced with nutmeg and star anise. An oaky backbone persists, balanced by sweet fruit and spice across the palate.
Finish
Long and lingering, the finish coats the palate with bright lemon rind, warm baking bread and a delicate kiss of honeycomb.
