Glenmorangie The Nectar 16 Year Old - Bourbon & Sweet White Wine Casks - Single Malt Scotch Whisky

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR - Bronze Gold

AROMA - Rich and heady, almost decadent, with notes of baking brioche, leesy wine, baked apricot, vanilla pudding, toasted almond and chestnuts and hints of chocolate truffles. With water, there is a burst of candy sweetness, touches of orange syrup, a flinty minerality, and a curious, distinctive herbal top note, like sage or basil.

TASTE - The texture is unctuous and sticky, but with a balancing lemon zestiness. This leads into rich, sweet flavours of vanilla crème anglaise, baked apricots, warm raisin break, roasting chestnuts, and a mixture of spices, particularly nutmeg and star anise. The oaky backbone lasts throughout the taste, but is always balanced by sweet, fruity and spicy notes.

Finish - The finish is long and lingering, with some lemon rind, baking break and a touch of honeycomb.
