Glenmorangie The Nectar 16 Y.O.

Glenmorangie The Nectar: a journey into confectionery

Sipping The Nectar is like entering a French patisserie, where the air is pervaded by sweet aromas, balanced by a delicate spicy undertone. This whisky was born from the memory of Dr Bill's many visits to French patisseries, where he was enchanted by the sweet aromas of freshly baked pastries filling the air.

It is that magical moment when the senses are deliciously overwhelmed, breathing in the swirl of sweet aromas and longing to savour each creamy, crumbly creation on display before you. The Nectar is initially matured in our ex-bourbon casks to develop a deep creaminess, before being aged in a more complex combination of sweet white wine casks (Sauternes, Monbazillac, Moscatel and Tokaji).

The result is a range of sweet and nectarine flavours unprecedented in a Single Malt Scotch Whisky, in which aromas of freshly baked brioche, wine on the lees, cooked apricots and almonds meld with notes of butterscotch, orange syrup, honey honeycomb and apricots dipped in vanilla cream, all balanced by an intriguing touch of spices such as nutmeg and star anise
