    Taken from the gaelic vernacular, Nadurra is the inspiration for this rich characterful whisky from The Glenlivet, which has not been chill filtered. This gives the whisky a richer texture and mouth feel.

    Color
    Pale gold
    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.

    Color
    gold
    Nose
    pepper spray
    Body
    oily and wonderful
    Palate
    Sweet, alcohol, candy?
    Finish
    STRONG! Well balanced

    It's hard to describe this whisky. It was incredible in its own right. But since it is cask strength, it was hard to drink. I felt that any water or ice ruined it. But drinking it neat was tough. Sipping it and letting it combine with saliva I thought was the best way drink it.

    Color
    pale gold
    Nose
    oak, citrus, flowers
    Body
    full bodied, the bourbon casks seem to impart a strong flavour, almost overpowering
    Finish
    medium finish that initially hints of oak, but ends with floral and citrus flavours

    It seems like a very heavy whisky, sweet and smooth, and rather good with a few drops of water (as I drank it on the second tasting). Without the drops of water, this would be a 75. But this is delicious and easily an 85.

    Color
    Very Pale. Filtered applejuice.
    Nose
    Fruit, Sherry, Lots of alcohol, Prunes
    Body
    Oily, Medium, Wet
    Palate
    Wood, Pepper, Floural notes, Candied citrus peel, Turkish Delight.
    Finish
    Prune & candied citrus peel kick in towards the end. Long and warm.

    A very novel whisky. This one has a bitter candy kick in the finish that can't be understated.
