Glenmorangie The Nectar D'or

[MWH]

Hey Guys

I was given a bottle of this a few years ago that was a special edition given to celler owners that promoted the brand.

I still have not opened it but contemplating opening it with a cigar to celebrate the birth of my daughter who is due to arrive to at the end of the month

Just wanted to know if anyone has had a drop or two of this stuff and what they thought?

Cheers

Matt

I have had it before. Very nice with a mild or medium cigar.

Afaik, it is not a limited or special edition, and not even all that pricey...

[MWH]

Nah Not that Pricey but this bottle came from a very exclusive Club cellar that is quite reputable in fact I can't afford to drink in the place

[Optic101]

Nice and smooth, a bit sweet. Always welcome.

Goes well with a medium HU or HDM and of course others IMO.

I can confirm that the Nectar D'Or is a regular production bottle. I also like it and have gone through 2-3 bottles over the last 4 years.

The Nectar D'Or is matured in Bourbon casks for 10 years and for the final 2 years

finished in casks that previously carried Sauternes (very late harvest sweet wine).

Although (as has been stated) it is a regular production,

the Bourbon - Sauternes combo is quite rare -

and albeit a bit sweet - delicious!

Cheers, Alex

As others have said, it is a bit sweet but not bad at all! Would pair with a mild/medium cigar. Enjoy and congrats on the new arrival!

[MWH]

Thanks Guys, You have all cleared it up on the fact it was a regular production bottle.

Not Knowing a lot about Whiskey, I took it as payment for some work I did. well you win some and lose some.

I am sure it will still taste pretty good

Had a bottle in Bali a few weeks back,and wow you wont be disappointed simply delicious.

Japanese whiskeys are also out of this world no wonder they are reaping in the rewards and awards

cheers enjoy

I really like it. And for a little bit extra, the extremely rare 18 is wonderful.

Smashed a full bottle one afternoon this past summer with a friend. Its double the price of the Nectar here, and not nearly as enjoyable imo. It was good, but not $150+ good...

Wow, that's ridiculous. It's only $110AUD here. Definitely $20 better than the Nectar.

Yes. Nectar floats between $80 and $90AUD here.

Amazing what marketing can do. You guys know it's not 'extremely rare' right?

I have seen the 18 year old stuff at Dan Murphy's for all the Aussies reading this post. I don't think its rare here

Nectar is 90 here also, but the ER is 172.

Love this scotch. I had a booth for my coffee at the Scotch show here in Toronto one year and this super drunk Scottie in full kilt garb comes up to me and I tell him I love that one. Of course I prounounce Glenmorangie wrong and he corrects me.

Glen...m... Orange (like the fruit)... eee.


Achhh eye! OCH AYE

...Achhh eye!

I am no drunk kilter but I believe that should be: "Och aye"

[fokker4me]

I just bought Nectar D'or in NY for $56.00 a Bottle. Its really good and sweet, but you need to like sweet to like it.

[MWH]

I don't usually like sweet but will just have to give it a go and see how it tastes

[TM-US]

If the OP has the regular Nectar D' Or, it's regular production, with a 12 year age statement. However, there are some rare variants, like the original release which was a 15 yr.

Im not a sweet fan but the NEC is good. Just regular good...

[Kpmx77]

Its good

[Mr.T]

I tried this for the first time the other night and was impressed with it. I'm a peat guy, but this was a very nice change of pace...

[Hunter1974]

the regular Glen 10 aint bad I always keep a bottle

[MashTea]

One of the few sweeter Whiskeys that I will gladly drink

[peterk814]

Its def a sweeter single malt. Does not have any of the peaty moss smokey flavor of a lot of other single malts. I personally like to mix it in with soft drinks. It goes really well with a quality creme soda. Almost makes a liquid butterscotch type drink.
