Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or

Golden nectar from the Scottish Highlands.

In the 1730s, a brewery was built in the Scottish Highlands, namely on the Morangie Farm, and a hundred years later, it was refurbished into a distillery we all know and love: Glenmorangie. Their Spirits are not created equal – they are raised as aristocrats. The water comes from the pristine spring of Tarlogie and the magic that happens is a result of a teamwork of sixteen men, affectionately known as the Sixteen Men of Tain. These knights of Whisky distill the potion in the tallest stills in Scotland, creating a lighter and more refined Whisky.

This very bottle is the epitome of class and quality. It’s aged for at least a decade in ex-Bourbon barrels and after that, it’s double-barreled for extra two years in upscale casks that used to hold sweet French wine Sauternes, which makes it as ritzy as F. Scott Fitzgerald’s diamond. The voluptuous “Nectar of Gold” is creamy and sweet and it earned a score of 95/100 from Wine Enthusiast, and 94 points from the legendary Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. Oh, and the gold medal at IWSC in 2017. It’s decadently splendid and every home bar should have it.
