The Highlands is by far the largest region in Scotland both in area and in whisky production. This massive area has over 30 distilleries on the mainland. Because the Highlands is so vasts it can have whiskies with cereal sweetness and richness, whiskies that are lighter, fruitier and also whiskies with lots of fruit and pungency. Some whiskies have peat, smoke overtones and some near the coast have maritime flavours.

Characteristics of Highland whiskies are fruity, sweet, spicy, malty

46%, 700ml, Speyside, Scotland

Our sumptuous, special reserve whisky is aged first in American oak bourbon casks for smooth, fruity notes. We then finish this single malt in hand-selected wine casks from Sauternes, the most famous and ancient sweet wine-growing region of France.

These rare casks bring layers of mellow sweetness to Glenmorangie’s renowned smooth style. Non chill-filtered for enhanced aroma and texture, our Nectar D’Or is enjoyed around the globe.

Nose: Lemon tart emerges alongside fresh vanilla pods, lime and orange zest. Sultanas and dates follow, laced with ginger, coconut and a hint of toasted oak.
Taste: Silken textures bring sumptuous layers of crème caramel and warming gingerbread. Then nutmeg and toasted almonds entwine with meringue and honeycomb.
Finish: Sweet and mellow, balancing lemon zest, vanilla cream and final traces of ginger and nutmeg.
