The Glenlivet Nadurra First Fill Whisky (59.8% abv)

Gaelic for ‘natural’, Nàdurra was launched in 2004 as a cask-strength, non chill-filtered single malt whisky based on the style of whisky enjoyed in the 19th century. As in the old days, the whisky is bottled straight from the cask, and does not undergo any processing such as chill filtration – so you get the real thing as it’s meant to be drunk. All Nàdurras are made in small batches, each at a different ABV as alcohol content varies between casks. The range was originally headed up by the now discontinued 16yo (Hot tip: grab a bottle if you see one of these floating around!) and was recently overhauled to comprise three NAS expressions named after the cask used for maturation; Olorosso, American Oak and Peated Cask.
