Nàdurra means “natural” in Gaelic and this Glenlivet lives up to the name. Bottled at cask strength, non-chill filtered, and drawn from first-fill American white oak casks, Glenlivet Nàdurra First Fill Selection offers a rare glimpse into the untamed, full-bodied side of this classic Speyside distillery. It’s Glenlivet, but not as you know it, louder, richer, and unapologetically bold.
