Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jun 2014
The renowned Glenlivet Nàdurra range of natural cask strength, non-chill-filtered single malt Scotch whiskies are usually aged in bourbon casks. However, this rather special offering was matured in first-fill oloroso sherry casks from the Jerez region of Spain, presented at a robust strength of 60.7% ABV and without chill-filtration. Yum.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Dried fruit notes at the fore, soon joined by rich chocolate and a subtle nuttiness (almost a bit like a Picnic bar). Hints of struck match, anise, cinnamon and vanilla.
Dark chocolate, Seville orange, flaky pastry and crunchy fruits fresh from the orchard. Give it a minute and the anise on the nose comes running back too.
More dark chocolate and drying spice.
