Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or, Sauternes Cask Finish, 12 Years Old

Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or achieves an outrageously good sweet-dry balance through a two-year process of extra-maturation in hand-selected wine barriques from Sauternes, the most famous and ancient sweet wine-growing region of France. These unique barriques lead the whisky to develop its rich, spicy, and dessert-like flavor palate.

Savor the tantalizing scent of coconut and nutmeg as flavors interweave to create the warming taste of lemon meringue and honeycomb. A sip will leave you with a sweet finish of lemon zest and white chocolate.
