The Glenmorangie The Nectar d'Or is a sensory journey from the New World to the Old Continent. This innovative spirit is first aged in American white oak barrels and then finished in carefully selected Sauternes casks, which impart those rich and sumptuous aromas with a seductive taste typical of great sweet botrytized wines. This double aging, bold and balanced, combined with non-chill filtration, gives the Nectar d'Or a worldwide reputation.

Tasting Notes

Best enjoyed neat, without ice or water, in complete silence, to be transported directly to the Highlands.

Distillery

Nestled in the Scottish Highlands, the Glenmorangie distillery has been a precious gem of whisky since 1843. Its heritage, perpetuated by constant innovation and respect for tradition, offers a unique expression composed of the sweet waters of the Tarlogie spring, malted barley, and American oak. Master distiller Bill Lumsden is the guardian of this rich tradition, producing renowned single malts known for their complexity, smoothness, and silky consistency.
