Love this stuff! However, where I live $65 US means I don't get it very often. It might be just as well, makes it seem more special when I can get it.
Hello Ralfy I have a quick question? Out of the two, which one will be easier on the stomach, the Glenlivet 16 Nadurra, or The Macallan cask strength? Thanks. W.T.
I absoloutly love how when you add water it goes from the crisp smell of green Apple, and floral notes, to A creamy almost eggnog, and very slight mocha. My favorite nose on an affordable bottle of singlemalt.
I had the same experience--when I first cracked this open it was a sharp citrus, or raspberry-like note with tons of vanilla-oak, and somewhat spirity. But now after a week or so it's softened to a nice apple note, with a bourbony twang. And with water a nice floral backbone shows itself. And of course, being non-chill filtered I enjoy the mouthfeel. Overall great stuff. My only complaint is it seems like complexity has been sacrificed for intensity a little bit, but what it does it does well!
@ralfystuff Really? That surprises me. I've gone through 3 bottles of it already and loved it every time. I first bought it because I watched your review of Glenlivet 12, but the store was out of the 12 so I grabbed the 18 because I didn't want to leave empty handed. It's become my favorite scotch!
i usually drink Scotch streak but not this one, this one you need to add water to brought out the flavor and to make it smooth silky smooth, i just added 1/5 water in mine and i like it
@ralfystuff, I have had this bottle for about a month now (I got it because of your review, and I started my malt journey with a Glenlivet 12 yo - so this felt like a non risky step up). It is fantastic stuff, and has been getting better each time I have it. I think it is my favorite single malt (at least for today). If you tried a small dram again, I wouldn't be surprised if you gave it a 89 now.. Just my two cents..
Something I found interesting is that little print on the label stating the Glenlivet Nadurra faithfully captures the original distillery character. In a book on the history of the distillery, it's noted that George Smith's original product was sold at cask strength (57-60% ABV roughly) but it was probably closer to new make with minimal barrel aging (which was the amount of time it took to transport to customers). From that I'll say the Nadurra is a big improvement over the original
Ralfy, you mention Glenfiddich needing to make a younger Snow Phoenix. Just wanted to mention that they have a 15 year old distiller's edition that is 51% and non-chill filtered. Not sure about color. But it is a really good whisky IMHO.
I can't see how they can say 'with nothing added or taken away' when they are still adding caramel - could one be bold enough to say this is a blatent lie?
... "As with other Nadurras, this Glenlivet has been neither coloured nor chill-filtered." quote from thewhiskyexchangedotcom advertising on the Nadurra Triumph.
Unless Glenlivet are interpreting 'natural' as including E150a because the Scotch Whisky Association state it is a 'natural' additive.
Just want to mention that there's now a short video with Ian Logan, the Glenlivet's Brand Ambassador, who states there is no coloring or chill filtration in Nadurra.
ok...gave this a whirl and cannot say as I'm getting the fruit, honey, custard and other desirable flavors I was anticipating. I'm a bourbon drinker and was really looking forward to this whiskey...but I'm not quite able to get my head round it at this point.
However, being a loyal malt maniac, I'll follow your advice, take my time, come back and give it another go.
you had a few before this one didn't you ? not criticising or anything, just amusing as I've watched a few of your video's and can notice the difference between you sober and a lil tipsy :)
Fit like? The Triumph Nadurra is the finest malt i have had, the 16yo is very good indeed but the Triumph suits me best. Great review mate and keep up the good work.
My Nadurra is bottled 03/08, batch 0308E and cask strength says 56.2%
This has quite a bite to it and makes my tongue dry and lips numb! I think this might be a little better for a mixed drink rather than straight.
PLEASE PLEASE review Glenlivet 18. I've had several bottles now and compared it to many other whiskies, including the Glenlivet 21 and 25, and still the Glenlivet 18 easily remains my favorite for a straight sipping whisky. I'm hoping you can tell me why that might be...
the interaction of spirit in wood over time create a synergy and complexity in Whisky which often finds a balance around 17 to 23 years in many Malts.
Are you interested in reviewing the Oban 14? I picked up a little sample bottle at my local store where "rare" malts such as these are immensely hard to find! It's such a joy to get new varieties way out here in the wilderness of Canada.
Interesting how the Scotch world is mimicking, to a certain extent, the beer market in the US right now. The big companies are starting to take notice of the little independents and offering "quasi-craft" versions. But unfortunately in the beer world the "craft" versions are nowhere near the quality of the true craft producers.
One Batch of Nadurra make me think, that Whisky decantation helps some of malts to uncover flavour. Maybe some of Whiskies needs special whisky decantation. What do you think?
The only version of nadurra near my location is the 18. I've tried the regular glenlivet 18, do you think it'll be different enough as to be worth purchasing for the experience?
Definitely agree. In fact, Ralfy did mention in his Water in Whisky video that bourbon-matured whisky tends to handle more water better than one that was sherry-matured like a Macallan.
Ralfy: Sad to say, but according to whiskyworld.de and other European countries that require the labeling of e150a, this does have "farbstoff" = caramel!!! Shame on them. The same applies to the Laphroaig QC! Cheers :-) Keep up the great work.
Still it's a bit odd that Glenlivet would even add caramel to the Nadurra. When you compare it's color to the rest of the Glenlivet line, it is easily the palest of all of them.
Excellent review Ralfy! Please tell me what is the price of a bottle of Nadurra in UK? And what you think about Glenfarclas 105 (Cask Strength)? I'm really enjoy Gf malts and i'm going to purchase their cask strength stuff. Very interesting your opinion. Cheers! (Sorry for my english. )
Although I'm not the biggest Glenlivet fan (it usually strikes me as having very little personality) I've had the Nadurra and loved it. I like to think of myself as a "discerning" whisky drinker but not always very "articulate," so I really appreciate what you have to say about this (and many other) single malts.
Hi Ralfy, thanks so much for all your reviews and your website! I was first introduced to Nadurra at a Glenlivet tasting. At the time I was a total noobie but I will never forget its flavor! Thanks for reminding me that I should go out and get myself a bottle. Thanks for the review!
Dear Ralfy, I'm so grateful to you! I've been guzzling Lagavulin down for 25+ years and have only just started 'tasting' it thanks to you. Now I'm off on the single malt merry-go-round. I just found a dusty, forgotten, top-shelf bottle of Glenrothes Single Speyside; 43%, distilled in '89, bottled in 2001. Please, what should I do with it? drink it or save it? I have to admit to having started a little collection of malts much to my financial dismay, but ooooh what a true delight it is.
Interesting to see what you made of this bottle. I attended a Glenlivet tasting a while back and this one stood out for me. I tasted the 12, 15, 18, 25 and the Nadurra. The 25yo was the star of the evening (for me) but if you're to buy a bottle, the Nadurra will offer the most flavour for your buck in my opinion.
Initially, I wondered why both Glenlivet and Aberlour both chose a Gaelic name for their cask strength bottles and after doing a little research discovered Pernod owns both distilleries. Which now makes sense why the Nadurra is essentially the ex-bourbon cask counterpart to ex-sherry cask A'bunadh.
The Nadurra Triumph Edition is actually 18 years old (casked in 1991, bottled in 2009) and bottled at 48% so its closer to the non-cask-strength version (also 48%) of Nadurra that is offered in Duty Free shops (there are three varieties of this whisky). Since I have a bottle, I would love to compare it to the standard 18 year old some time.
Also the Triumph Nadurra started as an American-Exclusive release but it now appears to be available in the UK.
You are exactly right about it getting better. I was really disappointed when I got a bottle and took the first sips. I thought it was too similar to a regular US bourbon. BUT, after the bottle had been opened a few days, I went back to it and it was delicious. I love it so much that it was the first scotch that made me go buy a second bottle right away. Also something, it gets better as you drink it throughout the evening. It almost creates a craving (and I don't drink a lot). 94 Malt Mark!!
@ralfystuff How about using a litre bottle (salvaged from pub) or glass jug as a decanter? I usually replace stoppers halfway unless returning them to the cupboard, saves straining the cork, which can otherwise eventually fracture. Don't twist the cork, it comes off easier if you push at the side alternating 180deg. Keep the paper to polish off your greasy pawprints from the bottle after a session.
There was a large whisky expo here in San Francisco on Saturday. I was able to try every standard expression from the 12 to the 25 Year Old. Unfortunately the Nadurra followed closely after the 25 and I may not have given it a fair chance. It was very difficult to distinguish specific flavors on the palate other than vanilla and some oak.
That is due to batch variation. My bottle is 54.4%, Ralfy's is 53.6%. Ralfy might be able to confirm it but the distillers are most likely mixing the contents of several casks together to make one batch of Nadurra but since no additional water is added, the strength will vary from batch to batch.
Is that the November 2010 batch? I've been trying to find a bottle here in California but they only have April 2010 bottles (which I already have). I was hoping a pick up at least two or three different batches (and different ABVs) to see how the taste varies between one to two percent differences.
I have noticed Nadurras dating to 2007 had 57% so it's interesting seeing such a wide variance in ABV in this product.
Great review mate... Fair, to the point and objective as always. I have always stayed well away from glenlivet simply because of of its lack of quality. But I am surely going to go out and buy a bottle of this good stuff !!
about the cork - one of my favorite things about whiskey is tasting it from the first pour to the last drop, and the change and mellowing of the spirit as i enjoy it over time. maybe next time i get one that needs a little mellowing out i'll leave the lid off for awhile and see what happens.
Love this stuff! However, where I live $65 US means I don't get it very often. It might be just as well, makes it seem more special when I can get it.
