About The Glenlivet NÃ durra Oloroso Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Following distillation, The Glenlivet NÃ durra Oloroso Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured exclusively in first fill Oloroso sherry oak casks from the Jerez region of Spain. These casks are some of the most highly prized and sought after casks used by whisky makers, and impart distinctive notes of dried fruits, raisins, apricots, orange marmalade and dark chocolate to the whisky. After maturing in the casks, the whisky is bottled at cask strength without the use of chill filtration (NÃ durra means "natural" in Gaelic).Pick up a bottle of this glorious Glenlivet today!
About The Glenlivet
During the early 19th century, illegal distilleries were commonplace throughout the Speyside region of Scotland. In 1823, however, Alexander Gordon pushed the Excise Act of 1823 through Parliament. The Excise Act allowed illegal distillers throughout Scotland to apply for and obtain licenses to legally distill spirits. In 1824, a businessman named George Smith applied for one of the first licenses in the Speyside region of Scotland and opened the doors to The Glenlivet Distillery. For nearly two centuries, The Glenlivet Distillery has been producing the “single malt whisky that started it all.â€About Scotch
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
