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.

PW0715 - Bought this today for new years eve after dinner. The smoke is perfect. Had to have a second.
Exotic taste, gentle on the palate. Humble feeling.
This is one of my favorite. Very dynamic. Whalen tasting with friends try this. Poor a dram neat. Nose and taste. Add just a few drops of water and taste. Then try with ice. All friends I have shared with in this fashion are astonished by the distinctive profile changes in each taste.
I normály dont lidé peaty flavor in my scotch, bit Tříska si a míče nad doesnt ověřit power the naše od the scotch.
I have a half of a bottle left and I love it! so do my two sons!! need another before this one runs out. I bought a Nadurra cask strength (61%) from the distillery when we visited in November 2018. Love the subtle taste and flavours.
