Glenmorangie The Nectar 16 year old, 46%

Price: 100 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Now finished for 2 years in a combination of sauternes, monbazillac, muscatel, and tokaji casks, this has mouthwatering aromas of peach syrup, warm brioche, orange cake, fruit pastries, and ripe apricot. The palate is drenched in baked fruit flavors, with apricot, orange Jell-O, and orange honey, plus pepper. The mouthfeel is succulent and unctuous, revealing baked pastries, flaked almond, brioche, cinnamon toast, bananas Foster, and creamy toffee to finish. No. 8 in our Top 20 of 2024.
