Angels' Nectar is back in stock!!
Angels’ Nectar is our 'cut' of the Angels’ Share, bottled for your enjoyment. The First Edition (also known as Original) of Angels' Nectar has been carefully blended from a selection of the finest Speyside and Highland malt whiskies. Explore further and a biscuity sweetness, along with hints of beeswax is revealed. On the taste, it is a touch more medicinal than the nose. Let it linger in your glass with a drop of water. using our hand-crafted water droppers.
Created from a selection of the finest Speyside and Highland malt whiskies, bottled at 40% Vol., the First Edition (or Original) of Angels’ Nectar Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is naturally light in colour, with no added colouring, has a sweet nose of vanilla, stewed apples and fruit syrup, with a taste of heather honey and lemon, and a hint of spice on the finish.

AND now we have the The Islay Edition, which oozes a welcoming island peatiness, the Angels have selected a parcel of casks from one of Islay’s finest distilleries, which we have bottled as a Single Malt at the natural colour and at 47% vol. A gentle island peat smoke dominates this dram.
We are so happy that we are able to stock two variations of this blend, The Angels' Nectar Original and The Angels' Nectar Islay Edition.
So what is The Angels' Share?
Well, long before science got in the way, producers of whisky thought that the angels came down and took a small amount of whisky from the casks before bottling, this was accepted and known as The Angels' Share.
During its maturation process it is expected that almost 2% of whisky is lost from the oak cask. Distillers still believe in this angelic story and so accept that heaven has a love of whisky, as much as the world.
We are so glad to have this back in stock and to be able to offer this great dram to you all once again!
Let us know your thoughts on it, we would love to hear your tasting notes.
