Glenmorangie Nectar D'or Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Glenmorangie Nectar D'or Jim Murrays Score - 94.5
Glenmorangie Nectar D'or 12 Year Old is a sumptuous Highland single malt that beautifully marries Glenmorangie’s elegant spirit with the luxurious influence of French wine casks. After initial maturation in ex-bourbon American oak, the whisky is finished in hand-selected Sauternes casks from Bordeaux—the famed sweet wine of France—imparting layers of opulence, richness, and dessert-like complexity.
On the nose, Glenmorangie Nectar D'or offers a heady mix of lemon tart, honeycomb, white chocolate, and toasted almonds. The palate is rich, velvety, and full of character, unveiling flavours of crème brûlée, poached pear, nutmeg, ginger, and apricot. There’s a lovely interplay between bright citrus and honeyed sweetness, underpinned by gentle spice and silky oak. The finish is long and warming with notes of baking spices, candied orange, and a soft buttery richness.
What makes Glenmorangie Nectar D'or so good is its ability to deliver indulgence without overwhelming the senses. The Sauternes cask finish elevates Glenmorangie’s already refined style, bringing depth, texture, and a dessert-like flair. It’s an exceptional after-dinner dram and a favourite among those who love sweet, spicy, and sophisticated whiskies. Nectar d’Or is both elegant and inviting—a golden gem in Glenmorangie’s range.
