Compass Box Scotch Whisky Nectarosity Blended Scotch Whisky Review
Introduced in September 2024, Nectarosity combines Highland malts and Lowland grain whiskies from 11 different distilleries. The release was inspired by patisseries and baked goods, and draws on virgin American oak, first-fill ex-bourbon, and Palo Cortado sherry casks to achieve its sweet, inviting profile. Zesty citrus and stone fruit meet vanilla and honey in equal measures on the nose. With time in glass, and moving onto the palate, apricot preserve, bananas, caramel, and basically anything you’d want from a tasty morning treat come to the fore. It’s a decadent sipping experience — equally ready to kick off an evening or wind it down.
