On first nosing, the Glenlivet Nadurra unfolds a fascinating spectrum: floral notes mingle with the warm scent of honey and shortbread, reminiscent of a classic afternoon tea. A slight hint of spicy oak and candy floss joins in, with the latter offering almost bourbon-like echoes. A promising start that prepares the senses for a sweet but not overloaded whisky.
The Nadurra shows its strength from the very first sip. White sugar and coconut notes dominate at first, before a light spiciness and the fruity character of white peach assert themselves. This is accompanied by a creamy cream caramel note and an oily, viscous texture that makes the whisky very present. The white pepper in the finish reinforces the spiciness and provides a warming finish.
The finish of the Glenlivet Nadurra is surprisingly short to medium in length. Fresh oak notes dominate, accompanied by a hint of honey and minimal light fruity flavours. Although pleasant, it lacks the depth that many connoisseurs might expect from such a strong whisky.
