The Glenlivet N durra Peated Cask Finish represents a fascinating departure from the distillery's signature smooth and fruity Speyside style, drawing inspiration from the historic, rugged traditions of whisky making. 'N durra'—meaning 'natural' in Scottish Gaelic—is crafted using 19th-century methods, bottled at cask strength, and proudly non-chill filtered to preserve its rich texture and complex mouthfeel. For the Peated Cask Finish, the spirit is matured in traditional oak casks before undergoing a finishing period in casks that previously held heavily peated Scotch whisky. This process imparts a delicate, aromatic veil of campfire smoke and earthy peat over The Glenlivet's classic bright orchard fruit, sweet vanilla, and floral notes. It is a liquid bridge between the gentle elegance of Speyside and the untamed, smoky character of Scotland's historic peat-fired kilns.
🍾 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.
