NEW YORK, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ — The Glenlivet announces the
introduction of The Glenlivet Nadurra Triumph 1991(R), a
limited-edition expression of the Nadurra range. A unique approach
to single malt, the new offering was created using a single-source
of grain — Triumph barley — which is no longer used at The
Glenlivet distillery, making this a truly special addition to The
Glenlivet portfolio.
The Glenlivet Nadurra Triumph 1991 joins the range of ”nadurra”
(Gaelic for ”natural”) whiskies that is testament to the innovation
and craftsmanship in distilling which continues to define malt
whisky to the world. The new offering was distilled and casked in
Speyside in 1991.
Aged a full two years longer than the first Nadurra incarnation,
a 16-year-old cask strength, The Glenlivet Nadurra Triumph 1991
offers a greater flavor imparted from the wood. The additional
resting time, a broader selection of casks and the use of Triumph
barley provides a layer of complexity that is mildly sweeter and
more fruit-forward than its counterpart. All of the elements of the
offering are perfectly balanced, a trademark of the family of
whiskies, and another example of why The Glenlivet”s portfolio is
the benchmark by which other single malts are judged. Keeping in
line with this range of whiskies, the Nadurra Triumph 1991 is
non-chill filtered, which better retains its natural flavors, with
additional richness and a creamy mouthfeel.
“The Nadurra 16-Year-Old Cask Strength expression has been one of
the most well-received offerings in The Glenlivet”s portfolio since
its debut in 2006,” says The Glenlivet U.S. Brand Director Ron
Zussman. “We wanted to create something new, while still
incorporating the core elements that make our Nadurra whisky so
special. The result is our first ever single-varietal scotch,
Nadurra Triumph 1991, one we expect will be appreciated by both the
whisky enthusiast and the whisky collector.”
The Glenlivet Nadurra Triumph 1991 will join the award-winning
portfolio of single malts including a 12-Year-Old, a 15-Year-Old
French Oak Reserve, the Nadurra 16-Year-Old Cask Strength, an
18-Year-Old, the Archive 21-Year-Old, The Glenlivet XXV and the rare
offerings of the Cellar Collection. The Glenlivet Nadurra Triumph
1991 will be available only in the United States beginning in
November 2009, with a suggested retail price of $85.
