The Glenlivet Nàdurra range—meaning 'natural' in Gaelic—is crafted as a tribute to the traditional, small-batch methods of 19th-century whisky making. Unlike modern chill-filtered expressions, the Nàdurra is bottled at cask strength, preserving the natural oils and proteins that give the spirit its signature mouthfeel and cloudy complexity when water is added. The Oloroso Matured expression, specifically Batch OL0317 bottled in 2017, is aged exclusively in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks imported from the Jerez region of Spain. This maturation process marries the bright, orchard-fruit and floral distillate of Glenlivet's famous lantern-shaped copper stills with the deep, opulent notes of dried fruits, warm baking spices, and dark chocolate characteristic of active sherry wood.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
