Отзывы описывают Glenmorangie 16-year-old The Nectar как сладкий, десертный и лёгкий для питья виски с доминирующими нотами ванили, мёда, абрикоса и цитрусовых. Мнения о теле и финише расходятся: часть отмечает мягкость и баланс, часть — тонкость и слабый финиш.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве текстовых отзывов аромат и вкус описываются как сладкие, десертные и фруктовые: ваниль, мёд, карамель, абрикос, персик, виноград, цитрусовые и выпечка. Несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают сливочность и мягкость, лёгкую питкость и хороший баланс сладости с кислинкой и специями. Часть отзывов упоминает пряные и дубовые ноты, а также лёгкую горчинку или танинность в финише. Некоторые прямо называют виски десертным и подходящим для новичков.
Вместе с тем оценки и впечатления неоднородны. Ряд отзывов указывает на тонкость тела, слабый или резко обрывающийся финиш, а также на то, что вкус не полностью оправдывает аромат. Отдельные отзывы сравнивают этот виски с NAS-предшественником, причём мнения о том, какой из них лучше, расходятся. Также встречаются замечания о горьких и танинных нотах, которые смягчаются после аэрации. Общего единодушного вывода о превосходстве или недостатках нет — отзывы варьируются от восторженных до сдержанных.

Aroma: Like a sweet and sour lemon pie, the thick and delicate lemon filling is covered with aromas like candy lime and dried orange peel. When whisky is diluted with water, it can intensify the rich aroma of baked meringue lemon pie and baked fruit cake. Taste: Smooth, like a thick lemon pie that melts in your mouth. The initial citrus flavor in your mouth gradually changes to the taste of roasted milk brûlée and sour lime, and then is replaced by warm ginger, accompanied by Soft nutmeg and toasted almond flavors add warmth. Finish: The mouth exudes the languid sweetness of lemon zest, vanilla ice cream, and delicate ginger and nutmeg flavors.

In direct comparison to the NAS predecessor, it appears significantly older and more mature. It's one of the few whiskys that improves on the finish for my personal taste.

Sugared vanilla, candied apples, a hint of grapes. It doesn't feel overdone, but the finish complements the initial ex-bourbon maturation well. A good start in the mouth, with the alcohol well integrated. Sweetness in the form of candied fruit, perhaps even a hint of banana, is also present. Spice and vanilla emerge, with a slightly bitter finish, which provides a nice counterpoint to the initial sweetness. The finish is quite long and develops nicely. Depending on the day and your mood, this could be a good to very good whisky.

Quick hit review. The Nectar is a fitting name for this quaffable and very easy drinking Glenmorangie. Sweet and delicate, the nose emphasizes brown sugar, apples and peaches, and I'm getting some herbal notes in the back. Give it time to open up. On the palate, ripe orchard fruits, honey and caramel give way to gentle oak spices and mild orange zest. This is dangerously drinkable. Fresh herbs and marzipan linger in the bittersweet finish. It makes a great daily sipper - but I fear the bottle won't last long (which is always a good sign). RATING: 3.5/5.0 stars ≙ 84 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE
For me, a typical Glenmorangie, but very full-bodied with significantly more substance. A very successful whisky. Conclusion: Nice!

| Нос | 86 | The nose is quite intense, fruity, sweet and malty with vanilla, raisins, spicy honey and sweet grapes. The oak barrel can be detected in the background. |
| Вкус | 87 | Initially, an intensely sweet impression with a pleasant mouthfeel. Fruity-sweet notes of white wine are followed by pepper and a touch of astringency. No off-notes; everything harmonizes beautifully. |
| Финиш | 87 | The finish is quite long and very pleasant. The taste of dry white wine lingers on the tongue, accompanied by tart and dry notes. |

Third blind dram in line as part of the 2025 online whisky competition organized by BestofWhiskies. I guessed it right. Had many Glenmorangies in the past and for me there was something in the whisky that immediately sparked something in my mouth and brain. This 16 year old Glenmorangie has been baptized with the name 'The Nectar' and if certainly has something nectar-like- think of honey and rum soaked raisins and dried apricots and the lushness of Christmas in a glass. It's elegant and drinkable, not too thick nor oily. It has a whiff of paint thinner. All good so far! But it kind of drifts on a body of woody bitters and tannins. It kind of took the vibe away for me. I have to admit that it improved with oxidizing. So leaving the glass 15 min. to air is advisable. The bitters integrate but the tannins remain. Overall it's a very enjoyable whisky- but less intruiging and tasty as what I had hoped for...

| Нос | 87 | Rich nose! Wauw! Oranges with elegant alcohol and paint thinner, dried jerky strips, roasted almonds, honey, raisins, dust and a whiff of cooked cabbages. Upon a second nose I have some tangerines, mandarines and more dust. Vanilla pudding and creme Brûlée! Dried apricots. Warm chestnuts in the oven? Wauwi! |
| Вкус | 74 | The nose is sooo promosing and the mouth in a way doesn't entirely fulfill this promise. Bittersweet upon entry- yes, with a very balanced fruitiness and very well integrated alcohol. Yes. But the bitterness kind of threw me of my horse. I felt it hard to go through the tannins and the woody bitters and taste the dried apricot, the paint thinner, the dry varnish... I let the glass rest a bit and had a second try. The oxidation did good; bitterness was more integrated in a fruity floral pallet. Playful notes of citrus and echoes of spices, with some christmas pudding vibes and rum soaked warm raisins. Vanilla cream. Hint of aniseed. Yes, this try is more enjoyable. The rather low ABV is ok. It's pleasant and comfortable without turning watery. Elegant and drinkable but not 100% right. |
| Финиш | 74 | Medium long finish with vanilla and mandarin peel, beeswax and cardamon. Hint of yeast. Hint of cookie dough. Dried apricots return, so do the woody echoes- some tannins, some bitters. But it's ok. |
Aroma:Moderate;Palate:86/100; Aftertaste:Med-Long.

Apple, caramel, a little sulphur, but not disturbing. Sweet, grapey, vanilla, spices, honey. Nice complexity.
Aroma: distinctive, fruity, spicy aroma, tones of honey, apricot, orange, up to an intensely sweet jam Taste: full, fruity, very delicious, pleasantly spicy, tannic whisky - with notes of honey, white pepper
Quite sweet palate, but very well balanced and relatively full-bodied. Nice.

A nicely made Glenmorangie. The nose is initially beautifully bright, fruity, sweet, and creamy. The palate is pleasantly mild, following the olfactory aromas at first, before the malt shifts into the spicy and powerful character of the Highlands. The finish is equally robust. There's a good amount of oak involved. I like it a lot. A lot, in fact. I can't do anything with the standard 10- or now 12-year-old, but I like this Nectar and also the Quintan Ruban. Will I ruin it if I try the older bottlings of it?

See https://www.whiskybase.com/ko/whiskies/whisky/133221/glenmorangie-nectar-dr Very similar character
A whisky with a strong vanilla and creaminess that is appropriately mixed. Various layers are smoothly stacked on top of the feeling of vanilla pudding or vanilla crème brulee. Overall, the sweetness is dominant, but it feels like it has a balance with sourness and spice. However, it is a bit disappointing that the taste is a bit thin and the finish tends to suddenly drop. Glenmorangie seems to make whiskys that are easy for anyone to drink and have little likes and dislikes in their core lineup. However, I have a small wish that they would put a little more effort into CS for whisky lovers.

| Нос | 89 | At first, it is soft and not bubbling, but after some time, as you get used to the scent, you can feel a little bubbling. - Vanilla Pudding 5. The sweetness of sugar, creaminess, and strong vanilla flavor are reminiscent of vanilla pudding topped with caramel. It also feels like a crème brulee with vanilla, but it has a slightly more pudding-like, chewy texture and a slightly more restrained sweetness. - Honey 4. Just like the sweet scent of sugar, the sweetness of honey is also strongly felt, but it has almost no floral nuances, so it gives the feeling of honey at the same time. - Grape 4. The feeling of ripe grapes that are starting to soften slightly. There is a nuance of slightly sour grapes, and this sourness sometimes stings the nose and approaches like lemon 3. - Crackers 4. The rich flavor of grains comes through strongly, and unsalted crackers come to mind. - Tropical Fruit 3. It has a tropical fruit feel with pineapple and jackfruit mixed in, and gives a feeling of green apple, mint, and herbs mixed in. - Milk Chocolate 3. It has a creamy feel combined with a soft bitterness like milk chocolate, and there is a hint of oak 2 underneath. N Summary - Layered with a main sweetness like soft and creamy vanilla pudding. |
| Вкус | 87 | - Honey 5. The sweetness of heather honey that feels like a lot of floral fragrance. It is mixed with a slightly light and thin feeling. - Vanilla Pudding 4. Creamy and sweet vanilla, like the vanilla pudding mentioned above. The sweetness of the sugar is less than the flavor, and it feels a little lighter. - Lemon Peel 3. The bitterness of citrus is mixed in, giving it a lemon peel-like feel, with a hint of cocoa. - Apricot Jam 4. Although it is called apricot jam, to be more precise, it feels like apricot cream in bread. It is a little less sweet than jam, and has a little more creaminess. There is a nuance of peach jam mixed in, so you can taste the taste of stone fruit. - Night 2. A typical chestnut flavor similar to a babamba. There is a bit of chestnut nuttiness mixed in, and it feels creamy. The aforementioned cocoa flavor and a bit of tannin combine to give a feeling like the inner skin of a chestnut. - Clove 3. The spice of clove and pepper is felt moderately, and there is a slight hint of herbs. - Oak 3. It feels like a slightly charred, black oak. However, it doesn't feel smoky, but rather slightly dark. - Mineral 2. It has a slightly round feel like minerals. :P Summary - Still sweet and creamy. |
| Финиш | 85 | The finish is medium to long. The flavors don't last long, but they linger for a long time at the end. - Wine 4. The most representative scent you can feel is the grape-like scent that lingers in your mouth when you drink a light wine with a citrusy feel. - Honey 4. The sweetness of honey is strong, but there is only a slight hint of floral scent. - Lemon Peel 3. The tart citrus provides balance. - Apricot 3. A slightly rough fruity nuance similar to cooked apricot. - Tannin 3. The oak flavor lingers in the mouth to some extent, and the tannin feeling that makes the tongue feel quite dry remains in the mouth quite strongly. - Vanilla Cream 3. There is no sweetness until the pudding, and a creamy vanilla flavor like vanilla cream is felt in the mouth. As time passes, the fruit flavors like green apple and pineapple linger in the mouth for a long time. : F Summary - Intense, short wine sensation with a long bourbon cask finish. |

Conclusions. A fairly rich and very delicate whisky with excellent balance. It's a rare case where it gets better and better with every sip. This is especially true for the finish. This whisky may not be the most complex, but that's not a major concern here, as it's so rich in vibrant colors. It feels significantly more mature and appealing compared to some other recent Glenmorangie releases. Score: 90
A beautiful and exceptionally fruity dessert whisky. It's wonderfully easy to sip mindlessly, but it also invites you to pause and consciously savor its luscious fruit notes. Actually, it's a great whisky to entice and delight those who have never had any prior experience with whisky.

Sweet Peach It's easy to drink
In a direct comparison of the 16-year-old "The Nectar" against the NAS "Nectar D'Or," I didn't have much of a say. To my surprise, the NAS actually had a slight edge: https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/241271/glenmorangie-16-year-old#leave-a-review 84 https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/235519/glenmorangie-nectar-dor 85

My favorite one , I love it
A nice, soft & elegantly balanced sweet single malt- beautiful tasting notes of vanilla, honey, grapes and old oak wood. Fun thing is that with each sip i drink of this one i discover new flavours within in this whisky. And i have to say that i had never had a Glenmorangie before this but i'm an instant fan of them and i can't wait to see and discover what they have to offer. I'll pour another dram after i've finished this one.
Not as sweet as the old 12 yr, still solid for GlenMo.

| Нос | 84 | Honey, whipped cream, golden raisins, little hint of marzipan. |
| Вкус | 83 | Very focused on the sweetness and not much else. For the age, very little oak or body that you get with this many years in a good cask. Honey and yogurt, frosted flakes, and sugared pastries. |
| Финиш | 81 | Not very strong, doesn't leave your palate with much other than vanilla and some raisin-y sweetness. |
Glenmorangie is top-quality in terms of craftsmanship, you can't say anything about it. But to be honest, I was hoping for more in terms of aromas from this 16-year-old. It's pleasant and accessible but also interchangeable - 03.05.2024

A distinctly sweet, honeyed, dessert aroma dominated by apricots and honeydew. The taste is also very fruity, malty, vanilla, but also slightly woody and with white pepper... Quite a nice drink, and certainly a much better choice than the new eighteen.
