Picture the best bit of dessert, but you sip it. That's Nectar d'Or. It's a soft, honeyed Highland single malt with no smoke anywhere in sight, so if you've ever found whisky a bit harsh or campfire-y, this is your off-ramp. Pour it after dinner, after a long day, after a night of nyama choma when you want something gentle and a little decadent. Sweet, syrupy, easygoing. The kind of dram that makes you go quiet for a second.
First sniff and you get lime and orange peel, a hit of coconut, sultanas and rich dried fruit with a date-like depth. Then you taste it and the honey arrives. Candied lemon, a little ginger and nutmeg warmth, and that syrupy dessert-wine sweetness from the Sauternes casks. The mouthfeel is buttery and almost oily, in the good way. It finishes long and softly spiced, honey and a whisper of oak hanging around. No smoke, no burn, just smooth.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Glenmorangie sits up in Tain, in the Scottish Highlands, and they're a little obsessed with two things: ridiculously tall stills (the tallest in Scotland, which is why their spirit comes out so light and elegant) and cask finishing. Nectar d'Or starts life maturing in ex-bourbon casks, then gets a second stint, the 'finish', in casks that once held Sauternes, the famous golden dessert wine from Bordeaux. That extra-maturation is where the name comes from and where all that honeyed, syrupy sweetness gets baked in.
