Product details
Nc'nean Organic Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a testament to the innovative spirit of the Nc'nean Distillery, a small, independent, organic whisky producer nestled on Scotland's west coast. Founded in 2017 by Annabel Thomas, the distillery is committed to crafting experimental spirits while pioneering sustainable practices. Operating with 100% renewable energy and achieving net-zero carbon emissions for scopes 1 and 2, Nc'nean demonstrates a profound respect for the environment. The name "Nc'nean" is derived from Neachneohain, an ancient Gaelic goddess known as the Queen of Spirits, symbolizing the distillery's dedication to forging its own path in the whisky industry.
This unpeated single malt is crafted from organic Scottish barley, whose natural yields and rich soils contribute to its depth of flavor. The whisky undergoes gentle fermentation and distillation processes that accentuate its delicate, fruity characteristics. Matured in specially treated red wine and American whiskey barrels, along with a small proportion of sherry casks, it develops a signature body and sweetness. On the palate, it presents elegant notes of citrus, peach, apricot, and spice, with discernible flavors of lemon posset, peach, apricot, and spiced rye bread. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with natural color, this whisky is both vegan-friendly and gluten-free. Its versatile profile makes it delightful when enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation for a Whisky Six—a refreshing highball mixed with soda water and garnished with fresh mint.
