Matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks before a finishing period in casks that previously held heavily peated (Speyside peat, as we understand it) Scotch whisky. This third no age statement Nàdurra release addresses the fact that if you're setting out to create a whisky that George Smith would recognise, you do have to appreciate that peat was used at the distillery in his day.

Tangy and 'fizzy', old fashioned lemonade and hints of Orangina or Buck's Fizz even. There's gooseberry and a touch of coconut and foam banana. Raspberry and rhubarb develop. The peat comes through as nutty malted barley.
Tasting this alongside Ian Logan, he explained how his favourite tasting notes are the ones that get right to the point, so here you go: Peat & Pear Drops!
Creaminess and earthy peat combine for a chocolatey finish, both pleasantly bitter cocoa and creamy Cadbury's hot chocolate with hints of fruitiness still.
Fruity Glenlivet combining very well with considered use of peated casks.
Unfamiliar Scotch that I received for Christmas. Very smooth whisky that is becoming a personal favourite
Just excellent
Super !!!!
Full of flavour and very complex! This is one of my favorite whisky's, it's surprisingly smooth for a 61% cask strength whisky when drinking it straight. When adding two drops of water it opens up different flavours it changes both the nose and the taste. Compared to your average Islay Whisky the peat is light, but gives it some nice earthy tones, a nice change from your general Speyside Whisky. One of the best, especially in its price range!
