Light gold.

An enticing mix of soft vanilla, fudge notes and sweet ripe pears engulf the senses.

A tantalisingly tropical mix of juicy pineapple and ripe banana cut with a zesty citrus flourish.

Nàdurra is traditionally crafted in small batches using 19th century methods. It is non-chill filtered, resulting in greater body and a distinctively creamy texture and mouth feel: all the properties you’d expect from a whisky that has been drawn straight from the cask. Fittingly, Nàdurra comes from the Gaelic word meaning natural.
The casks Nàdurra First Fill Selection is drawn from are made from American white oak, which have never before been used to mature Scotch whisky. These oak casks, a popular choice of distillers at The Glenlivet since the early 1900s, impart hints of creamy vanilla to this wonderfully rich single malt whisky.
