- Color
- Nearly copper (batch 26)
- Nose
- Solid Sherry with caramel overtone. Even people that don't like whiskey find this it appealing.
- Body
- Very powerful, very smooth, does vary by batch.
- Palate
- Wraps your tongue with a swath of caramel with sherry and a bit of vanilla for me.
- Finish
- The finish is delightfully long, especially after a couple of sips and your tongue is coated. Lasts for minutes there after.
Again, I hate diluting these marvelous super liquids. Very little peat in this dessert-like malt but it goes great with smoke, fruits and smoked meats and cheeses. It's a staple in my bar.

- Nose
- slightly sweet with fruit overtaones
- Body
- Excellent mouths effect, don't dare dilute this! Cognac-like
- Palate
- Delicate for it's strength, there is no burbon EVER in this casking - I don't what these other people are drinking! Sweet floral with honey.
- Finish
- Excellent long finish, great for a dessert when tasting multiple malts.
Nadurra is typically 56-59% cask strength, never seen a 47% in Nadurra. This is a unique, mind blowing Sctoch that uses virgin oak casks. Perhaps the Euro versions are 47%. I don't like to dilute good whiskey regardless of what others suggest. When I dilute any good whiskey I'm usually disappointed. Nadurra is superb as-is. It's one of the few vintage disignated cask strength whishkies and it stands out from the burbon bunch. And in fact, I don't care for burbon flavored malts as a rule. Why not drink burbon if that's your taste.
