Before “natural” became a trend, Glenlivet Nadurra was already setting the standard. This 16 Year Old Cask Strength release, Batch 0813Y, bottled at a bold 56.1% ABV, is part of the original Nadurra series, matured exclusively in first-fill American oak and left non chill filtered for full, uncut flavor. It’s a whisky with heritage, strength, and collector appeal, now discontinued and increasingly hard to find.

Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its weight and texture. A few drops of water open up orchard fruit and soft vanilla while taming the cask strength heat. Avoid heavy mixers, this dram deserves center stage.
