Nc'nean Huntress 2024 - Orchard Cobbler Whisky 70cl

This is the third single malt to join the experimental, boundary-pushing Huntress series from Nc'nean, named Orchard Cobbler after one of the team's favourite desserts, due to the whisky's highly fruity flavour profile. Nc'nean operates two different spirit runs each year, one for whisky intended to be released at a younger age, and another for whisky thats set to mature in cask for at least 10 years. Orchard Cobbler is an example of the unique profile that is achieved just after this switchover. During this first week of change, cut points are altered, flooding the spirit with highly fruity compounds that are captured here in this rather fruit-forward dram. It was distilled from 100% organic Scottish barley, matured in a combo of 66% STR red wine casks, 31% bourbon casks, and 3% sherry casks, and bottled at 48.5% ABV.
