Following my last Nadurra review, it’s time for another. This time we come to the Oloroso matured cask strength release. This is from batch OL1015, and is bottled at 60.3% ABV and is non chill filtered and natural color of a dark amber. The nose starts with strong alcohol (understandable given the high ABV) but also very sweet with a rich sherry fruitiness. Intense raisins and figs with a strong oaky backbone. Lots of vanilla and chocolate and a wonderful sherry envelopment. Fruitcake, dried fruits like cherries, apricots and plums with a lovely dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg. More chocolate with a touch of black licorice. Aromatic as if it were peated, but it’s something else. Green grass and dried hay. Blackberries, raspberries, boysenberries with a light mint. There is a slight soapy note at times but it doesn’t detract from anything. The palate is sweet and densely fruity. Plums, apricots, raisins and cherries. Sherry and oak forward with a roasted nuttiness following close behind. Some peppery spice, but not bad considering the strength here. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and a hint of coffee with caramel and pancake syrup. Slightly tannic at times, but it’s a much needed contrast to the sweetness. A medium bodied mouthfeel that is a bit thin for a whisky this strong, mouthwatering and slightly astringent. The finish is medium long, fruity - mostly raisins, sherry, oak and toffee. The nose one this whisky was quite nice, and the palate didn’t fall far behind. Lovely fruity sherry and fruitcake flavors. Another example of why Glenlivet should offer more in the way of cask strength releases. 4.25 and thanks to @LeeEvolved for the sample. Cheers
