Creators of Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskies since 1843.
Inspired by the memory of entering a French pastry shop, The Nectar swirls with the sweet scents of honeycomb, orange syrup and brioche, balanced by a soft touch of spice. Sumptuously sweet and complex, it's packed with nectar-like flavours that are not usually found in a single malt Scotch whisky.
TASTING NOTES:
RICH AND HEADY
APPEARANCE
Bronzed gold
AROMA
Decadent on the nose, with notes of just-baked brioche, baked apricot, vanilla pudding, toasted almonds and chestnuts, plus hints of chocolate truffles. When a few drops of water are added, there is a burst of candy sweetness, touches of orange syrup, a flinty minerality and a distinctive herbal top note, like sage or basil.
TASTE
The texture is unctuous and sticky, but with a balancing lemon zestiness. This leads into rich, sweet flavours of vanilla crème anglaise, baked apricots, warm raisins, roasting chestnuts and a mixture of spices, particularly nutmeg and star anise. An oaky backbone lasts throughout the taste, but is always balanced by sweet, fruity and spicy notes.
