Was not expecting THIS! | Glenmorangie 16 The Nectar REVIEW

[@yanboa]

Definitely worth celebrating when a new core range gets BETTER! Glenmorangie is on a roll right now, as far as I'm concerned.

[@israrussia]

I love your channel so much!!! Thank you for the review 🎉

[@Gwhisky]

Thank you for the kind words! 🙏

[@samuellarouche1894]

The way you say Nectar D’or…are you from Qc? Great vid as always by the way!

[@NoteworthyWhisky]

Great review! It’s funny you mention the oak in this one. I found the 14 Port is the same. But in that case I wasn’t even decent. My theory is that their casks aren’t delivering what they used to in the shorter maturation so they leave it longer, which obviously turns up the wood notes. Just my opinion. Cheers!

[@Johnny__Silver]

I had the older bottle once. It didn’t gave me a headache like this video did but I did enjoy this video more than the whisky.

[@cato451]

I’ve never been a fan but you made me want to revisit this distillery now.

[@lesterlau]

Looks interesting! Will see if I can find a dram of this while I'm traveling. The flavors all seem great, but too much oak might indeed be a turn-off. Great review!

[@ramanb]

Great Review Geoff. Glenmo got me started on my whisky journey so I'll definitely be looking to add all of the new core range to my collection, including this one. I am definitely not a fan of the new bottle design, I find it somewhat awkward and prefer the older styling, but, it's all about the juice in the bottle! Thanks again. Slainte!

[@eholopai]

Thanks for a great review once again! I totally agree that this whisky changes very much over time, but I personally have started to like it more than I did initially. For me it has turned from good to great, so I must be one of those who like oakiness. BTW, is that a pop filter on the lower right corner of the screen😂

[@WhiskyWolf514]

I think I only ever had the Quinta Rubin from them . Liked it but wasn't blown away. Having said that I might give this a shot next time I'm in a bar. Great review as always! Cheers Geoff 🥃🥃🎩

[@lightplays2181]

Nice whisky , i liked. Regular price - 130 $ !!!!!!! Price the sale 100$ ! Cheers !

[@Gwhisky]

That's much more expensive than here. Only USD $60 here! 🥃

[@lightplays2181]

@@Gwhisky yes expensive ((

[@thegoatchild3545]

Thanks for the review, Geoff. I don't love saunternes finishes, but I might give this one a try.🥃

[@olivierbeltrami]

I found the new Nectar d’Or 16yo a bit weird (possibly the fermented aspect that you mention) until I got it down to shoulder level and then I let it oxidize for a few weeks. At that point I really started liking it.

[@Koby616]

They should change colour for this one. 18 looks quite similar? Good price for a 16 year old one 😊 thanks for the review

[@WhiskyWars]

Had my eyes on this one! Glad you reviewed it, it sounds great (I’ll keep the oakiness in mind) - I liked the nectar d’or but wasn’t blown away too but this is only a bit more expensive than the NAS so it sounds very good to me so far, cheers!

[@Gwhisky]

Hopefully when you do get your hands on it we'll get a review. Cheers! 🥃

[@GOTAisMe]

Great review! I found the older Nector D'or too sweet. I hadn't given this one too much thought based on that older bottle but I really do enjoy Glenmorangie. This sounds different especially with that oaky quality which was not there at all in the previous versions. It's around $100 usd in my area which is the same price the old one was. The new 12 year original is $48 up from $40 where the 10 year was so it's in line their other pricing.

[@DJ0279]

I know you’re a Kilchoman fan and I am curious what you think about the new batch strength Kilchoman.

[@JeffBrauss]

Sounds like a decent Summer time dram. Also, curious if you would ever do a seasonal recommendation type video(s)? Cheers 🥃

[@parttimedrummer2023]

Hey Geoff, great video! It should state on the backside label (or at least on the back of the package, there I'm sure) that it is - indeed - non-chill filtered! 🙂

[@KnickKiller]

Been waiting for this one! Let’s go!

[@thewhiskyenthusiast]

I love the taste of wood... ahem oak I love oak! I'm super curious about this one and like you I do enjoy the Glenmorangie core range and house style. I'm looking forward to trying this one. Cheers!

[@Balkonwhisky]

Hello Geoff, The Last Time i tried this one was a few Years ago when it had a 12yo AgeStatement on. I felt in love with it right away but they made it a NAS and my Love was gone 😅. I'm pretty curious about trying it again with that 16yo on it. Thanks for your Thoughts and Opinion about this Bottling. Greets from Germany 😎🤘

[@hamo4558]

I'll keep an eye out for this one. I recently noticed the D'OR price has dropped significantly in price and currently represents excellent value ( in Aus) , it's a nice drop.

[@benjaminlichtenstein6747]

I was fortunate to win a wine raffle with a nearly 40-yr old Monbazillac. It was probably past its best, but a really great experience for a non-wine guy! I can see how it would augment this whisky for sure.

[@Leo-Reboucas]

Another great review Geoff! Well done! Quick question for you, Arran Sauternes or Nectad’or?

[@Gwhisky]

Thanks Leo. I'd probably opt for the Arran. Cheers! 🥃

[@bluesmanen1]

Nice review. I'm quite fond of Glenmorangie in general, I've tried quite a few over the last 20 years, so I'm looking forward to try this one, but I have no idea when it will be released here in Sweden or what the price will be. The Nectar d'Or is sek809 (€69, $75) in todays currency, so I expect it will be a bit more expensive.

[@paulm749]

This sounds nice. I very much liked the 12yo Nectar d'Or, but the NAS version was a big step down in flavor and quality, IMHO. A suggestion to anyone who finds this too oaky or intense: try adding a bit of the standard 10yo (now 12yo) to a pour. I have found that the different Glenmorangie expressions play well together like that. Conversely, if you find the standard too bland, add just 4 or 5 drops of your favorite peated Islay whisky to a pour and you might be surprised how much it wakes up.

[@jackhammer8439]

Huh well perhaps I might give it a try. Wasn’t a fan of the old version, but open to the revamp!

[@ffll8427]

It's crazy that they actually did that. What a bunch of madlads. I had both versions of the Nectar, 12yo and NAS. The 12yo wasn't to my personal taste, but it was a well made whisky. The NAS really was lackluster, very disappointhing whisky, so I considered them being just as bad as all the other distilleries making their core range worse. This is a welcome surprise for sure.

[@Lokotraktor]

Pricing's weird here in Czech Republic. Old Nectar vs. new is 65 vs 130 USD 😮

[@pfalzgraf7527]

Sadly, different to the Nectar d'Or, this one is coloured. And I have to say, there I am a snob ... so, thanks for tasting it for me. 😉

[@Gwhisky]

Hah fair enough. 🥃

[@andypike1234]

You and your innuendos! You naughty boy 😉

[@astroboy3507]

Glenmorangie make great drops I feel! 👌

[@christinecamley]

The downside here at home are the prices - of course! Crazy alcohol tax provincially.

[@DileepB]

Good deal

[@NeilImmortal]

Never had a Glen Morangie I would buy again, so I stay clear now.

[@ashythedon]

Did you mean fermented or “stewed” fruits? If the taste is denser chances are that’s what it is. Fermented carries a more sour, tangy taste

[@Gwhisky]

Fermented, not stewed, albeit not sour. 🥃

[@jacquesjolivet5685]

Je m’initie finalement aux whisky en m’inspirant de vos revues et celles de First Phil whisky. Je crois que vous êtes québécois. Merci pour tout.

[@ADSCP]

I think the old Nectar d’Or was a bit too sweet. I never Sauternes wine tough, so I don’t know how much influence was there because Glenmorangie destillate tends to be sweet but a kind of sweetness I’m not much of a fan tough.

[@enotrilogy]

90 all day here... Special IMHO

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

If this is a 16yo whisky priced at $100 and not cask strength, then I don't see myself buying a bottle.

[@harryb3122]

If you have to pay 100 dollars truly not worth it. Here in the Netherlands it cost 65€

[@peathead4450]

Thanks for reviewing Geoff Kinda interesting... until you mentioned the sweet wine and Monbazillac.... I'm off. Slàinte mhath

[@joewheatley21]

I bought a bottle yesterday. It said non chill filtered on the box

[@Gwhisky]

Good to know! 🥃

[@SimonneNZ]

This one hasn't arrived down here yet. I had the 10-year-old back near the start of my whisky journey and it was good at the time, but I wouldn't repurchase it. I currently have the Quinta Ruban 14 which is quite good, but I wouldn't repurchase this one either. I paid $100NZD for the Quinta Ruban and there are better whiskies out there around the same price. Cheers!

[@briankinard4576]

Had their 12 year old version and was not impressed. Like the Quinta Rubin but just couldn’t connect with this one. The flavor profile just wasn’t for me I guess.

[@umami0247]

Not much of an oak guy either. Bold and spicy is my go too. Many scotches fall short on those flavors. Pear and sweet apple flavors aren’t bad but I’d rather have higher proof and bold flavors. Hence why I’m more of a bourbon drinker. Enjoy!!

[@chongkokchoyify]

I find the old 10 year original to have that oaky note, which, as you say, might get noticed at times. Not a big fan of that oaky note

[@jean-francoisbrissette1016]

Je me suis demandé la même chose XD

[@vimalrajkappil]

Price is High here

[@christinecamley]

Hi Geoff! Check out Garret’s review - The Last Call channel - of Taiwan’s Yushan Single Malt Sherry cask whisky! He gives an interesting review! Have you ever tried this whisky? 🥃 Let me know!! Love passing around different whisky enthusiast channels!! Cheers Geoff!! 🇹🇼

[@Gwhisky]

Interesting review indeed. I like Nantou Sherry. It's not sold under the "Yushan" brand here, it's just called "Nantou Omar Sherry." It's good stuff. Just subbed to his channel! Happy to see you supporting the community and other creators, Christine. You're a legend! 🥃

[@nicolasderoover134]

just came out in Quebec, Canada... 175$ CAD 😓

[@Gwhisky]

Too much...
