The Glenlivet
Scotland
Single Malt
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. Read more over on the blog.
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.
I found it to be an excellent choice on my part. The Nut and fruit taste is very different for me in a single malt scotch however, truly delightful to the palate. Thank you Gentleman for educating me on the Peat Process that I new nothing about . While I have been in your beautiful country Many years ago, It tempts me to make a second visit and take a tour of your process for such a fine product.
At 62%, this is bottled at a higher abv than I would like, but with a little water, a feast of flavours come through. Citrus dominates with peat in the background. Very distinctive. I still prefer the oloroso, but this is also a very interesting expression.
Had the Nadurra with one ice cube to cool it down. The taste on first sip was divinely sweet and smooth, taste like toffee. Further detected a faint smokiness in the background. The finish was a little citrus. Great to drink with roasts.
Absolutely gorgeous. Ridiculously complex. Had been a big fan of the old 16, enjoyed the new Oloroso cask (not quite as good as A'Bunadh), & have not tried new Bourbon, largely cos i can't get past this. I barely taste the peat: it's more like a really tasty Bourbon cask with the smoke off in the next room. Divine. Maybe someone should take down the review by the fool who drank a 61.5% whisky neat? Just a theory.
Harsh. Simply too damn harsh. If I have to water it just so I can swallow it there's entirely too much alcohol to taste anything else here. After 15% distilled water added; it smells like a household cleaner with hints of lemon, a lot of oak and vanilla, dried flowers, earthy grass, honey, and missing terribly is a good peaty smoky smell. Taste: Like chewing on a plank of charred wood that someone has dropped a bit of nature's sweetness on plus some rubbing alcohol. Seriously disappointed in this.
