Glenlivet 16 Year Old Nadurra

Speyside

The inspiration for Nadurra - Gaelic for "natural" - comes from the wild and remote location that is the home of The Glenlivet. The 16 year old single malt is matured in first fill American oak casks and bottled at cask strength, without chill filtration. The whisky reflects the spirit of the glen, unfettered and unspoiled. Its robust texture and vibrant floral notes are freely expressed, making this a striking addition to The Glenlivet range.

SUGGESTED CHOCOLATE PAIRING

Chuao - Parchita and Dark Grignottine

The wonderful flavors of dark chocolate and tropical fruits of the Parchita blend beautifully with Nadurra's gentle fruitiness, while the Dark Grignottine's carmelized orange peel and nutty texture make for another perfect complement. 

SUGGESTED CIGAR PAIRING

Illusione cg:4 White Horse

For a very different experience, pair the cg:4 with Nadurra. The Nadurra has a complex flavor profile and the spices between the two will intertwine and play little symphonies for your taste buds. The aromas of the malt and the cigar are also similar, and add to the sensory experience. Make sure you allow the finish of the Nadurra to fade off before you puff on the cigar, the lingering malt flavors will remain, but the alcohol won't overpower the smoke.
