Single Malt
Scotland
1 Jun 2015
Glenlivet continue to release tasty single malt Scotch whisky matured in Oloroso Sherry casks from Jerez, Spain, bottled at cask strength and without chill-filtration for their fantastic Nàdurra range! This one is from batch OL0615, which was bottled at 60.3% ABV.
Chocolate chips, crushed nuts and a generous handful of raisins (sounds a bit like a recipe for cookies). A very subtle whiff of smoke...
Red apples and dark chocolate in equal measures, with a hint of citrus and herbaceous liquorice.
Sherried spices become more pronounced on the finish.
I bought a sherried Port Charlotte for a friend as a wedding gift which was amazing. This is right there with it. Like drinking candy. I'm a fairly new Scotch drinker but am amazed that something at 60 proof could be so smooth. To me it is a real bargain at this price.
