What it is

This Glenlivet Nadurra is finished in heavily peated whisky casks and bottled at cask strength. The peated casks impact on the mature whisky with gentle aromatic smoky notes and there still remains the more tropical side of Glenlivet.

Tasting Notes

Nose:  Sweet and sparky.  Fish pie with smoked haddock.  BBQ’ed fruit.  Wet malt almost soggy paper with an ashy note.  Then there is light brittle toffee.  Jasmine.

Taste:  Creamy.  Chilli spice and white pepper.  A punch of peat, hot embers, and then toffee comes through.  Then fruit cocktail after a BBQ.

Finish:  Paper ash lingers.

Conclusion

It is a talking point whisky and may even be a cross over whisky for people who are fearful of peat.  It’s OK easy drinking peaty whisky.
