Glenlivet Nàdurra 16 Year

Wonderful, okay nose - strong alcohol nose. Palate has wood, coconut, marshmallow, caramel. A bit of salt, and just enough smoke. This is really delicious.

Vanilla and oak

Is it wrong to drink whisky for the texture and not the flavor? Nadurra is a rare whisky that challenges us with that question. Nose - Vanilla bomb! Floral notes. Toasted oak. Perhaps a hint of pear. Taste - more vanilla and oak. Take a malt whisky, give it all the notes of a bourbon with that fresh charred barrel and we're here. However this is soft, gentle malt. Giving off some honey and again really faint touches of fruits. So to that question - mouth feel. This is the richest and creamiest whisky I can think off outside of a few bourbons. It's soft alcohol that doesn't over power. I did find the flavor is a bit better with a few drops but it does hurt the mouth feel a bit so a balancing act. 80 bucks after tax. If I find more I will buy more. This is really really good stuff guys. It's a shame they stopped doing age statements. it is however pretty much a one trick pony. It's not a wow bottle or one to save for special occasions. Add in it's about 20 bucks more than most would like for a daily drinking scotch. So 2.5 stars. I can't say you have to have this if you're into bourbon finished scotch, but I think you get a bottle.
