Wine Enthusiast
This Glenmorangie The Nectar spirit is often flagged by bartenders and sommeliers as a favorite; it’s easy to see why.
A decade in Bourbon casks, plus an extra two years in Sauternes barriques yields a fresh honeysuckle and vanilla perfume and a super-smooth spirit with creamy honey.
Nut flavors, with hints of dark chocolate and cinnamon are also present. Very few spirits have such elegance and silky finesse. Good value, too.
