Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso Matured

Batch OL0516, 60.4 ABV. Subdued sherry, oak and orange zest on the nose, fruit, oak and nuts on the palate, heat builds over time, long spicy finish. A bit of water toned down the heat while adding more nuttiness. This felt not as aggressive as Batch OL1117, but there was not a significant difference between the Batches.

Batch OL1117, 60.3 ABV. Spices, sherry, peanut brittle and orange zest on the nose, very spicy fruit and nuts on the palate, long spicy finish. A splash of water toned down the spice on the palate while adding a creaminess.

Diluted with water this spirit is more palatable than neat,and it lingers with a smoky finish

Age statement ❌ 50% abv or more ✅ Long finish ✅ $50 or less❌ Buy again ❌ I wish it had a touch of peat. Reminds me of Naked Grouse but at cask strength. I actually poured a little Wee Beastie in my glass with this and I genuinely enjoy it more.

Sweet and warm
