✨ Technical Specifications
The Glenlivet Nàdurra Peated Cask Finish represents a captivating dialogue between Speyside elegance and Islay-inspired smoke. 'Nàdurra', translating to 'natural' in Scottish Gaelic, denotes a range crafted using traditional 19th-century techniques, bottled at cask strength and without chill-filtration to preserve its full texture and complexity. For Batch OL0715, the signature bright, orchard-fruit spirit of The Glenlivet was finished in casks that previously held heavily peated Scotch whisky. This process coaxes out a delicate, aromatic smoke that beautifully wraps around the distillery's classic notes of ripe pear, soft vanilla, and citrus. It serves as a historical nod to the early days of Speyside distilling, when peat was more commonly utilized in the malting process due to the region's remote geography.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1824 by George Smith in the remote Livet Valley, The Glenlivet was the first legal distillery established under the 1823 Excise Act in the parish of Glenlivet. Located high in Speyside, the distillery draws pure, mineral-rich water from Josie's Well, which contributes to a slow, controlled fermentation process. The distillery is famous for its distinctive lantern-shaped copper pot stills featuring long, narrow necks that promote extensive copper contact and high reflux. This architectural setup yields a remarkably light, ester-driven, floral spirit characterized by signature top notes of green apple, ripe pear, and summer orchard blossom. Maturation strategies range from classic American white oak bourbon casks to European oak sherry butts, French Limousin oak finishes, and exotic cask experiments like the Caribbean Reserve. Owned by Pernod Ricard under Chivas Brothers, The Glenlivet remains a global benchmark of the classic Speyside single malt tradition.
