We are the lucky owners of a cask at Nc’Nean distillery and the team there has just released their new Huntress release. So we thought it was well overdue that we did a tasting with them!

The Line up:

• Nc’Nean Organic Single Malt 46% abv
  Made from organic Scottish barley whose natural yields and rich soils contribute depth of flavour. Our gentle fermentation and distillation accentuate the delicate, fruity flavours in the spirit. Matured in specially treated red wine and American whiskey barrels, alongside a small amount of sherry casks, to develop our spirit’s signature body and sweetness. 
• Nc’Nean Quiet Rebels – Gordon 48.5% abv
  Honouring Gordon Wood, the distillery manager and a bit of an industry legend with over 20 years of experience. This is made from a marriage of whisky aged in shaved, toasted, and re-charred red wine casks (74%), sherry casks (19%), and Rivesaltes casks (7%)
• Nc’Nean Aon 17-176 57.1% abv
  A Single Cask bottling, from a ex-bourbon barrel, bottled exclusively for the distillery shop
• Nc’Nean Huntress 2022 48.5% abv
  Produced using three different yeasts; Anchor, Fermentis and Rum
• Nc’Nean Huntress 2024 – Orchard Cobbler 48.5% abv
  The spirit matured for Huntress Orchard Cobbler comes from the distillation in the week after this spirit recipe is switched over – a time where cut points are changed and unusually high fruity compounds flood into the spirit. So fruity, that the whisky is named after one of the team’s favourite desserts.
