Glenmorangie The Nectar 16 Year Scotch Whisky
Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 46% ABV | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Glenmorangie The Nectar 16 Year is an elegant evolution of the beloved Nectar D’Or. This expression begins with 14 years of aging in ex-bourbon casks before a two-year finish in a mix of sweet white wine barrels, including Sauternes, Monbazillac, Moscatel, and Tokaji. The result is a luxurious Highland single malt that layers vibrant fruitiness with dessert-like richness, offering both depth and balance.

Palate: Smooth and layered with baked apricots, crème anglaise, raisin bread, roasted chestnuts, lemon zest, nutmeg, and star anise.
Finish: Long and lingering with honeycomb sweetness, citrus peel, and subtle echoes of warm pastry.
