Glenmorangie Nectar D'or
Year Sampled: 2009
About: This distillery is most known for experimenting with different casks. This newcomer has been aged for 12 years in bourbon casks and then "finished" in Sauternes wine barrels. It is non-chill filtered and bottled at 46% abv.
Color: Honey, appropriately.
Nose: Thin, flavorless bubblegum, Fruity Pebbles cereal
Palate: Thick, Indian spices
Finish: Bitter chlorine. Pretty much ruins it.
Overall: Disappointing at best.

Nose: Strong nougat, cherry, malt, thin
Palate: Focused malt, full and chewy
Finish: Peppery, burning canines, unmotivated
Overall: Firmly average. But it somehow feels there's a simple way of making this really, really good.
