Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso Matured

After sampling for awhile with other great scotch I'm going to bring it down a 1/4 point. Still good but there is a lot of competition out there!....Slainte'

Icing sugar, varnish, meaty on the nose,

Nose: Dried Figs and Oranges, Raisins, Red grape, red apple with a bit of cinnamon a hint of citrus such as lemon zest, and a strawberry Jam. Taste: Rich Orange Marmalade, Grape Jam, a bit sharp in the middle (however not bad for the high proof), toffee, thin caramel, feels although there is so much cinnamon it is burning my mouth, thin and sharp finish just dropping off.

Have to say now that the bottle has been open for some weeks its a bit more mellow and enjoyable. Nice to be able to experience the transition in whiskeys one opened to the air for awhile!

Ok tasting and strong

Good but has the alcohol burn of a very young whisky. Somebody once told me "You don't always get what you pay for but you always get what you don't pay for!"
