Glenlivet Nadurra Oloroso Matured 1L

Rich, sherry-soaked Speyside character, the kind that turns a casual pour into a proper moment, that’s what this Glenlivet Nadurra Oloroso Matured is all about. Oloroso casks bring that dark, nutty, dried-fruit depth, while The Glenlivet’s house style keeps it lifted and bright enough to stay dangerously drinkable.

• Nose: Raisins, orange peel, toasted almonds, and a hit of spice cupboard warmth.
• Taste: Layers of dried fruit, nutty sherry richness, caramelized sugars, and gentle oak, with a full, chewy mouthfeel.
• Finish: Long and warming, lingering on walnut, cocoa, and spiced fruit.

What makes it special is the Oloroso maturation. In plain English, that means the whisky spends serious time in barrels that previously held a darker, oxidative style of sherry. So you get flavours that feel like fruitcake, roasted nuts, and polished wood, not just a quick flash of sweetness.

This sits firmly in Speyside, Scotland, where The Glenlivet helped define that approachable, orchard-fruit single malt profile. The sherry casks dial up the drama, but you still get that Speyside clarity, so every sip feels layered instead of heavy.

If you’re the type who likes picking out new notes as you go, this one rewards attention. First it’s fruit and nut. Then spice and oak. Then that dry, sherry-driven grip that keeps you reaching back in for “one more taste.” It’s a great bottle for anyone who says they want complexity without needing a textbook.

It also earns its place on your shelf because it bridges two worlds: classic Glenlivet elegance and bold Oloroso-cask richness. That means it can win over someone stepping up from lighter Speyside malts, and still keep a sherry-cask fanatic interested.

Fun Fact: The Glenlivet was one of the first legal distilleries in its area, licensed back in 1824, and its name became so sought-after that other distillers tried to copy it.
