MWH Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hey Guys I was given a bottle of this a few years ago that was a special edition given to celler owners that promoted the brand. I still have not opened it but contemplating opening it with a cigar to celebrate the birth of my daughter who is due to arrive to at the end of the month Just wanted to know if anyone has had a drop or two of this stuff and what they thought? Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomo Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I have had it before. Very nice with a mild or medium cigar. Afaik, it is not a limited or special edition, and not even all that pricey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWH Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Nah Not that Pricey but this bottle came from a very exclusive Club cellar that is quite reputable in fact I can't afford to drink in the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic101 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Nice and smooth, a bit sweet. Always welcome. Goes well with a medium HU or HDM and of course others IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afaik, it is not a limited or special edition, and not even all that pricey... I can confirm that the Nectar D'Or is a regular production bottle. I also like it and have gone through 2-3 bottles over the last 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hohenthal Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 The Nectar D'Or is matured in Bourbon casks for 10 years and for the final 2 years finished in casks that previously carried Sauternes (very late harvest sweet wine). Although (as has been stated) it is a regular production, the Bourbon - Sauternes combo is quite rare - and albeit a bit sweet - delicious!

Bernardini Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 As others have said, it is a bit sweet but not bad at all! Would pair with a mild/medium cigar. Enjoy and congrats on the new arrival! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWH Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks Guys, You have all cleared it up on the fact it was a regular production bottle. Not Knowing a lot about Whiskey, I took it as payment for some work I did. well you win some and lose some. I am sure it will still taste pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZCUBAN Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Had a bottle in Bali a few weeks back,and wow you wont be disappointed simply delicious. Japanese whiskeys are also out of this world no wonder they are reaping in the rewards and awards cheers enjoy Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Festa Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I really like it. And for a little bit extra, the extremely rare 18 is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I really like it. And for a little bit extra, the extremely rare 18 is wonderful. Smashed a full bottle one afternoon this past summer with a friend. Its double the price of the Nectar here, and not nearly as enjoyable imo. It was good, but not $150+ good...

Nectar floats between $80 and $90AUD here. Amazing what marketing can do. You guys know it's not 'extremely rare' right?

fokker4me Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I just bought Nectar D'or in NY for $56.00 a Bottle. Its really good and sweet, but you need to like sweet to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWH Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 I don't usually like sweet but will just have to give it a go and see how it tastes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM-US Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 If the OP has the regular Nectar D' Or, it's regular production, with a 12 year age statement. However, there are some rare variants, like the original release which was a 15 yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MashTea Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 One of the few sweeter Whiskeys that I will gladly drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterk814 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Its def a sweeter single malt. Does not have any of the peaty moss smokey flavor of a lot of other single malts. I personally like to mix it in with soft drinks. It goes really well with a quality creme soda. Almost makes a liquid butterscotch type drink.
