Glenlivet releases second Nàdurra expression

The Glenlivet has unveiled a second new permanent expression in its Nàdurra craft spirit range. The Glenlivet Nàdurra First Fill Selection is drawn from casks made from American White Oak, which have not previously been used to mature Scotch whisky. Bottled at cask strength, The Glenlivet Nàdurra First Fill Selection will be available globally from September 2014, priced at US$80. The expression will also be available in travel retail at 48% ABV.

The release follows the initial launch earlier this year of The Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso in European travel retail and is supported by a new cask strength edition of this expression. The Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso Cask Strength will also enter domestic markets, including India, Canada and Taiwan from the same month, priced at US$75.

These new permanent expressions are said to showcase the versatility and multi-layered quality of The Glenlivet, while meeting a growing demand for handcrafted single malt whiskies with an interesting twist.

The new expression comes in refreshed packaging, first introduced in April 2014, which all future expressions of The Glenlivet Nàdurra will be released in to emphasise the handcrafted 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.
