I very much enjoy the Glenlivet 15 and 18 year expressions, and I'm also a big fan of cask strength whisk(e)y. However, the Nadurra 16-year fell short of my expectations. At full strength the ABV of 60.2% totally overpowers the delicate aromas and flavors (primarily consisting of apples, pears, oak and baking spices). Adding water tames the alcohol, greatly enhances the fruit on the nose and on the palate, but the mouthfeel becomes much to thin. This one is just not for me.
