Slainte!

Slainte!

Glenmorangie Nectar D'or

Light, brightly colored.

Very difficult not to get carried away with my notes, but if I may,

Nose: Fishy, oily. Rank.

Palate: Marzipan, meringue, chocolate. Creamy, cheesy flavors like those found in sweet sheep's milk.

Finish: Powdered sugar, butter, fig.

Additional Notes:
- Begins to open up as soon as it's poured. Winey flavors come through backed up by the strength of the expression at 46%
- I was genuinely surprised to find that the rank, or rancid, aroma I detected related to the Sauternes cask influence. These grapes are exposed to "noble rot"
- I have never tasted a whisky that gained to much from a finish. Rather than wearing the clothes of and older scotch or being injected with too much wine flavor, Glenmorange Original has integrated harmoniously with the wine casks. A true marriage of whisky and wood, perfectly balanced
- Starts old, finishes light and new
