Totally agree Tirebob, the nectar D'or is finished in Sauterne Casks, essentially ice wine, and gives it a delicious sweetness and a nice finish. If you like sweet, I always recommend any Glendronach offerings, from the 12 year old to the 21 year Parliament (Sherry Bomb! So good), or if you are lucky enough to find some of their excellent cask offerings (if you ever see a Tawny Port cask offering, buy it!).
