Reviewed May 16, 2020 (edited January 11, 2022)Sherry forward with a hint of pepper and atomic bite! Very nice expression of the toffee, coffee traditional Glenlivet Scotch with an added bonus of manicured and refined sherry polish. If you like a sherry finished whiskey this is for you. The sherry complexity is among the best I’ve tried. This is a dram good pour! -

Reviewed April 5, 2020 (edited October 16, 2023)A cask strength expression from Glenlivet, Nadurra means "Nature". I have had the 48%abv before and it was great. This one is totally different but just as good. Bottled at 60.7%; pale straw color. On the nose, chocolate fudge, earthy, Super appealing, freshly baked Brownies. Forest. On the palate, buttery, chocolate and cereal. A little straightforward, but it works. Aftertaste is a strong atomic pepper bomb. Since it is a cask strength, i added a couple of drops of water, it released banana flavors and aroma, just as the 48%abv one. -

Reviewed January 1, 2020 (edited October 16, 2023)From Batch OL1117, bottled at 60.3% ABV bottled on 11/17. Tasted neat from a Glencairn and allowed to sit for about 10 minutes after the pour. This whisky pours a crystaline amber with notable sheeting and slow legs . It looks almost like a dark honey. Nothing about the appearance of this would indicate it is such a high proof product. On the nose there is immediate honey, molasses, fruitcake with maybe a hint of nutmeg. The aromas rising from the glass are wonderful. They are rich, sweet and subtle. This is a whisky that rewards patience and continued exploration. On the palate there is absolutely no indication of the proof. This is as clean, smooth and rich as any whisky I've had. The finish is where the proof shows itself, with a glow of heat building after the swallow and coming on in waves over a slow fade to a sweet, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is really quite amazing - slow, long and luxurious. The taste is primarily sweet with impressions of fruit. The sherry is notable and well integrated. There isn't as much complexity on the tongue as the nose promised, with a slight hint of oak, some vague and ghostly smokiness, creamy honey and butterscotch all pointing to a rich sherry heritage. I like this scotch, but oddly I'm not satisfied with it. I'd love to see just a bit more complexity in the flavor profile, maybe a little separation of the notes in this whisky symphony. The influence of the sherry might be just a tad too much. Perfect for dessert or as an alternative to a rich XO cognac. My ratings are from 1 (I'll be drinking something else, please), 2 (acceptable as a mixer or based on price/performance ratio), 3 (an good average whisky, glad to have in on my bar), 4 (exceptional whisky and the lower boundary goal for my my curated collection) and, 5 (truly extraordinary in every way).100.0 USD per Bottle
