And true to its word, the cycle stage is complete.
Having launched successfully both The Glenlivet Nàdurra First Fill Selection and The Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso, respectively, the final introduction comes in the form of The Glenlivet Nàdurra Peated Whisky Cask Finish, globally.
It boast a subtle, smoky taste profile, having been finished in American oak casks that have previously held heavily-peated Scotch whisky. And it’s a limited edition.
And we South Africans do enjoy our expensive whisky be it neat or on rocks!
Albeit, it would make business sense to understand how many units have been sold thus far; but this will not happen due to confidentiality purposes, right?
The Glenlivet Brand Manager, Eugene Lenford says:” As with each whisky in the Nàdurra range, Nàdurra Peated is produced using authentic 19th Century methods.
A limited quantity is available because of the extensive time and craftsmanship involved in its making. Significantly, Nàdurra Peated marks the first time since the 19th century, that The Glenlivet has released a peated whisky.”
The Glenlivet Nàdurra Peated Whisky Cask Finish is inspired by the authentic production processes used at The Glenlivet Distillery by its founder, George Smith, who originally used peat smoke to dry the malted barley. Both Nàdurra First Fill and Nàdurra Oloroso were named after the wood that has imparted the greatest influence during the maturation process.
The new entrant is presented in refreshed packaging, which emphasises the artisanal nature of the range. The design includes a prominent batch number, cask-like stamps and a more visible translation of the Gaelic word, Nàdurra – meaning natural – to illustrate the essence of the brand.
In SA, this limited edition of single malt retails for R818.92 at selected stores- the same as both Nàdurra First Fill and Nàdurra Oloroso.
