The Glenlivet Nadurra Oloroso
Matured Review
The Glenlivet Nadurra Oloroso which
uniquely is the first major Glenlivet
bottling (other than single cask
bottlings) in living memory to be
matured solely in ex-sherry casks.
As the knowledgeable whisky drinkers
amongst you will already know
first-fill, ex-Oloroso sherry casks from
Jerez in Spain impart rich, distinctive
dried fruits aromas, warm spices, and
notes of cinnamon. The spirit combined
with the cask influence, produces a
sweetness of dark chocolate and a finish
which is long and sweet with a slightly
dry, spicy effect from the European oak
maturation..
 William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Bottled at a cask strength of
60.3% ABV
Nose: A big rich fruity, spicy
nose. Demerara sugar sweetness, rum and
raisin fudge coated in creamy chocolate.
Taste: The taste confirms the
nose. A rum and raisin fudge delivery
followed by lively sweet oak spice
lightly coated in orange and creamy
chocolate. A touch of cinnamon.
Finish: A lovely long deliciously
lingering finish. The sugars slowly fade
leaving the mildly drying oak spice.
Comment:
If you are a fan of big cask strength
sherried drams like the Aberlour a'bunadh then you will love this also,
but this is a smoother, more mature and
more refined whisky.
A lovely smooth big sherried
cask strength dram packed with raisins, orange, vanilla and
oak spice and it still has the
refinement you find in the Nadurra
family of cask strength single malts.
The other great thing about this is for
those of you who do enjoy big cask
strength sherried drams, there is always
a new batch just around the corner and
every batch will have similar DNA but
will never be exactly the same and if
the consistency of quality matches up to
the Aberlour a'bunadh then the Glenlivet
Nadurra Oloroso will be entertaining us
for a long time to come.
