The Glenmorangie distillery, founded in 1843 in the Scottish Highlands near Tain, is famous for its exquisite single malt Scotch whiskies. These are distilled in the highest stills in Scotland, resulting in a particularly fine and mild distillate. Glenmorangie is known for its innovative cask finishing technique, which matures whiskies in different types of casks such as port, sherry and wine casks, giving them a unique depth of flavor.
Glenmorangie also has a strong focus on sustainability, with initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions and reuse water, making the distillery a pioneer not only in the whisky industry but also in global spirits production. The distillery remains true to its heritage while continuously working to minimize its environmental footprint while maintaining the quality of its whiskies.
Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or initially spends 10 years in ex-bourbon casks, giving it a solid base with classic notes of vanilla and honey. It is then aged for a further two years in hand-picked wine casks from Sauternes in France, an area renowned for its noble sweet white wines.
Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or is thus a fascinating fusion of Scottish whisky tradition and French wine refinement, offering a rich, multi-layered taste experience.
