Description

A bottle of Glenmorangie 15 Year Old Nectar D'Or Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky. This was matured first in bourbon casks before transferring to Sauternes wine barriques for extra aging.

Nectar D'Or takes its name from 'Or' which means 'gold' in Gaelic.

The story of Glenmorangie begins in 1843, when William Matheson converted a brewery in the town of Tain into a distillery. In 1887 the distillery was sold to the Glenmorangie Distillery Co. A pair of pot stills was purchased from John Taylor's gin distillery and their long-necked design is retained today, the stills are said to be the tallest in Scotland.

Records dating back to the late 19th century show that Glenmorangie was being sold in high-class London hotels, including the Savoy. After World War I, the company passed to Macdonald & Muir who used the malt to fill its blends such as Highland Queen. Macdonald & Muir would own Glenmorangie distillery until 2004.

Single malt bottlings became more popular in the 1960s and Glenmorangie became Scotland's best-selling malt, prompting an expansion from two to four stills in 1976. Since the mid 1990s, the distillery has become known for its range of cask finishes, with new Distillery Manager Dr Bill Lumsden experimenting with different types of wine cask as well as different species of oak for maturation. Today the distillery is owned by LVMH.
