Teebone do you still have the HP 18 I'm going to review mine tonight hope you do the same BlueNote the Quinta Ruban is really good but you have to let it breath a bit, also if you do get a bottle try adding a few drops of water to the dram to open up the flavor and friend me for the review I would like to know your thoughts.
I'lll start by saying that Glenmorangie is a favorite distillery of mine. I can honestly say there is not a Glenmo I have tried and disliked. I just love their style. This one is right at the top, probably my favorite of the range. This is a spicy one and that's why I love it. Palate: Spice in a big way. All kinds of spice. Pepper spice. Wood spice. Spiced Vanilla. Apricot, orange and red apples. The spiciest Glenmo I've ever tried. Finish: Medium. Spicy still, the tongue is zinging.
Cinnamon and nutmeg. Orange zest big time. Call me crazy, but Black Licorice?? This stuff is wonderful. It is definitely sweet, but not as sweet as I expected it to be. Again, the spice dominated and I loved it.
Would I call it a dessert dram? No, but it definitely would be great for dessert, or any other time of the day. Enjoy this anytime, guys. I actually like this one without water. With a few drops of water the spiced toned down a little and the orange picked up.
I liked the full spice I got from this one without water. Was really surprised how spicy it was, but loved it. Still, with a little water this was an outstanding dram and I recommend you try it with and without water to get what you're looking for. Thank you teebone for the mouth watering review, I believe I have a miniature of the Nectar D'or and I feel its about time I cracked that baby open. I always drink whisky neat, would you recommend adding water to this one?
A delightful whisky, with no edges at all. Very smooth, sweet and syrup. Mayby even a bit to smooth. You have to take your time to discover all the tasting notes.
A good dessert whisky. My first bottle of whisky was Glenmorangie the Original 10 yr. This was my second. I figured seeing that I enjoyed so much the original I couldn't go wrong with another bottle from the same distillery. Before buying this I heard Andy Macdonald describe this whisky as walking into a french pastisserie. That was enough for me to decide it was worth the cash.
I've since purchased several bottles and keep coming back for more. I always keep a bottle of this in my cabinet. My next Glenmorangie discovery, I hope, will be Signet or Quinta Ruban but probably the Quinta Ruban seeing that it's more in my price range and more available in my area. Thxs for reading.
Finish: vanilla and white chocolate. Something faintly herbal. Very light, almost effervescent, like it floats back into your mouth after being swallowed. Nectar of the gods indeed! I've been wanting to try this one for a long time, and now that I've tasted it, I can't stop drinking.
This is delicious, like biting into a pastry. It is the exact opposite of a good Islay malt. Complex and seductive, but tender and feminine. I haven't had the 18 year or any of the other premium Glenmorangie bottlings, but of the headlining four, this one is far and away the most rewarding.
Well worth the price if you can afford it. I am tasting this very nectar again right now. I definitely agree with the touch of lemon and overall decadent sweetness of this bottling. Very good indeed. Thanks for your reviews. I've enjoyed them all thus far. Being new, I often have a hard time relating what I smell and taste to something identifiable and you have helped with that tremendously.
I was alone, reading a good book, enjoying a generous dram; I was nosing and tasting, slow and mellow, and the subtle aromas separated and re-coalesced. It was an epiphany! Palate: full and deep; fruit-wine, raisins, citrus, sweet-vanilla. There is a subtle taste — almost unpleasant, but it adds to the whole in a wonderful manner — that I assume can be attributed to the Sauternes influence. The influence from the Sauternes casks is delivered wonderfully: a sumptuous communication between wood, wine and malt.
I closed my eyes and felt like a decadent gentleman lounging in his private study enjoying a very satisfying dram. Nice review, I can relate to your experience. The original was my first bottle as well and discovered Nector D'or afterwards and have been hooked ever since. My Mother offered my a bottle of Nector d'or for Christmas this year.
I've been looking forward to trying the Quinta Ruban and Signet but I need to get through a couple of bottles to make some space first. Complex, elegant, floral, fruity…adjectives that come to mind when I think of Glenmorangie.
One of the first distilleries to experiment with various cask finishes before the practice became all the rage, "Glen-mo" also acquired something of a reputation for the inconsistency that often results from such experimentation. Fortunately, they also have a reputation for more hits than misses. I find it a very drinkable dram with a few slight unpleasant notes, but there are enough good things going on here for me to give it a strong-ish recommendation.
Nose, neat: After about 15 minutes of opening up, I get plenty of malt, brown sugar, honey, vanilla, fresh-baked shortbread cookies, and some touches of flowers and grasses. An excellent nose to be sure, but from time to time I get some slight traces of what I can only describe as sweat and metal — the way your hand smells after carrying around some dirty coins. Taste, neat: A blast of unanticipated peppery spices, cinnamon, and fruit, followed by a fairly long malty finish.
Maybe a touch of bitter tea in there as well. Nose: Hm, I think I prefer this neat. A bit of water tends to flatten it out and emphasize the dirty notes. Taste: I liked the palate neat, but I like it even better now.
But there is more about it. Nose: a good cherry , swwet , tinny caramel. Also the taste kicks in for real after the 3rd or 4th unit. The nose is fruity and sweet with a lot of honey and a very distinct winey note, no doubt due to the influence of the finish in Sauternes casks. I also detected apricots, lemons and some vanilla, everything delightfully interwoven.
I have never had a nose that was more under the influence of a wine flavour than was the case with this one but it works brilliantly! The palate is full and sweet, with again honey, vanilla and now also oranges and caramel making an appearance. In addition there is a touch of malty spice that nicely complements the flavour range.
The finish is quite long and rich, with honey notes and the same malty spiciness that I had noticed with the palate. This is a stunning whisky and by far my favourite one from the Glenmorangie core range at least until now. It is less floral than the year old version but manages to elegantly combine sweetness with spice and intensity of flavour. The result is a sumptuous whisky that the distillery can be proud of!
Hi vanPelt , thanks for checking in. I wrote that review quite a while ago, almost two years ago in fact, but I do remember that I experimented a lot with water with this one. I would not have called the palate 'tart' though, but that might just be my memory failing me. Do you know if this is still available somewhere?
I met Andy MacDonald, Glenmorangie distillery manager, at Whisky Live Paris where he told me that the 15 year-old version would not be continued as the year old version proved to be "too popular".
A pity really, as this was by far my favourite Glenmorangie bottling. It encouraged me to track it down. I am now reading it again now, after acquiring a bottle, pouring a dram, and sipping as I read. Very good descriptions, similar to my experience of the nose and finish. Maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong though: the palate is so tart to me!
Really puckers my cheeks. Water seems to help did you add much? Sauterne Finish Nectar d'Or is aged a total of 12 years. The reviewed bottle has been open for 18 months. The review is of the whisky at the present time with additional comments made about the progress of the whisky from the time the bottle was opened.
Nose: pleasant relatively strong sweet Sauterne and malt flavours. These flavours have opened up a lot since the bottle was opened and are at their strongest and best now. What peat there is, is extremely mild. Taste: very sweet malt and Sauterne are in abundance now, though they were quite understated and not as pleasant for the first year in which the bottle was open.
Very mild peat is also present Finish: long strong finish with a lot of sweetness, and at this point, a touch of sourness from oxidation. The sourness on the finish now is not sufficient to keep the flavours from being far better now than in the first year that the bottle was open.
Balance: This is a bottle I enjoyed at a friend's house, then was disappointed in the bottle of it I later purchased, Now this is quite enjoyable, but Probably not Palate: Quite thick, citrusy, lemony, apricots, vinilla yogurt, desert spices again, slight dried vinilla, cinnamon, slight pepperiness.
Probably my favourite Glenmorangie from there 'Extra Matured' range. Quite nice and reasonably priced around where I live. So my wife and I had finally got to Helvetica, a whisky bar, after months of attempts. We've been waiting for my sister and brother in law to arrive and in the meantime my wife and I have tried Glenfarclas 12 yr old at dinner, The Yamazaki and Hakushu 12 yr old japanese whiskies.
Next on the block is our first ever Glenmorangie! I'd heard nothing, but good things about Glenmorangie before, but I'd never tried any so this was going to be a new experience for both myself and my wife. Nose: What we both immediately get is fruit. Lots and lots of fruit. Apricot, Peach, Pineapple, Apples, Pears, I swear I smell mango, but my wife says she can't pick that one up, but she gets sultanas which I don't. I immediately think to myself that if this tastes as good as it smells then this too shall be a nice whisky for a hot summers night.
Taste: The fruit continues onto the tongue with apples, lemons, the tang of the pineapple, more and more fruit!! There is some spice, but nothing that I can sit down and put my finger on. But no matter this will make an excellent summer whisky!
The finish is medium with again the fruit dominating everything, mainly sultanas, but there is a hint of oak in the background. My wife really enjoyed this whisky as did I. Really good thing is my wife up to this point had only really cared for Speysides. Now after this she's interested in trying some more Highlands.
It felt just a little too watered down for my taste. We're now 45 minutes into our whisky visit and still no sign of my sister or brother in law.
We're getting kind of worried so I send them an SMS asking where they are, just as I do this I get an SMS from telling us they're in the upstairs room and look forward to meeting us whenever we get in. Hahaha, they've been here the entire time! Time to head up and meet the in laws for Family Whisky Time!! Nose: luscious sweetness. I think of fruit apricot, papaya, peach , white chocolate, slight hint of lemon. Also a bit of fresh sawdust a smell I happen to love. Neat, there is a slight toasty aroma but with a splash of water it is all perfumed sweetness.
