Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that transforms dessert into liquid gold?

Glenmorangie Nectar d’Or represents one of Scotland’s most innovative finishing techniques, where traditional Highland whisky meets French winemaking artistry. This exceptional expression undergoes extra maturation in Sauternes wine casks from Bordeaux, creating dessert-like complexity that sets it apart from conventional single malts. The non-chill filtered process preserves every nuance of flavor that develops during its unique dual maturation.
