✨ Technical Specifications

The Glenlivet Ndurra 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. 'Ndurra'—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.

🍾 About the Producer

Founded in 1824 by George Smith in the remote Livet Valley of Speyside, Scotland, The Glenlivet holds historic distinction as the first legally licensed distillery in the parish following the 1823 Excise Act. Today part of Chivas Brothers under Pernod Ricard, the distillery draws mineral-rich water from Josie's Well and employs tall, lantern-shaped copper pot stills to achieve a remarkably light and refined distillation. The Glenlivet is celebrated for setting the benchmark of classic Speyside single malt whisky, defined by a smooth, fruit-forward profile laden with orchard apples, delicate floral tones, and subtle oak, as showcased in acclaimed expressions ranging from its iconic 12 Year Old to rare editions in the Winchester and Cellar Collections.
