The Glenlivet Nàdurra First Fill Selection represents a return to the traditional, small-batch methods of 19th-century whisky making. Drawing its name from the Scottish Gaelic word for 'natural,' Nàdurra is bottled at cask strength and is non-chill filtered, preserving the full complexity, texture, and robust character of the spirit. This expression is matured exclusively in first-fill American white oak casks, which have never before been used to age Scotch whisky. These pristine casks impart rich, sweet notes of creamy vanilla, ripe pears, and soft tropical fruits to the bright, floral distillate drawn from the distillery's famous lantern-shaped copper stills. The history of Glenlivet is steeped in romantic lore, from its origins as a legendary illicit distillery hidden in the remote, misty hills of the Livet valley, to becoming the first officially licensed distillery in the parish in 1824 under the courageous George Smith.

Established in 1824 by George Smith in the remote Glenlivet valley of Speyside, Scotland, The Glenlivet is legendary as the first licensed distillery in the parish, setting the standard for Speyside single malts. Now owned by Pernod Ricard, the distillery draws its mineral-rich water from Josie's Well and utilizes lantern-shaped copper pot stills to produce a characteristically bright, elegant, and fruity spirit. The Glenlivet is globally renowned for its exceptional wood management, utilizing traditional oak, American white oak, and French Limousin oak casks to age signature expressions such as the 12 Year Old, the 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve, and the rare Winchester Collection.
