Produced from organic Scottish barley, this single malt begins with a gentle fermentation and distillation at the carbon neutral Nc'nean distillery. The whisky is then filled into a combo of red wine and American whiskey barrels, bolstered by a smaller portion of sherry casks to impart an impressively rich body with plenty of fruity sweetness. The eye-catching bottle is made entirely from recycled glass, again reducing the footprint of this stunning single malt. Great stuff all round we must say!
Barley sugar sweeties and orange oil lead the way, with notes of apricot jam and summer berries joining. Biscuity malt rests beneath, with a touch of vanilla.
Tangy tropical fruits aplenty here, with charred pineapple and drizzles of honey. Vanilla takes the lead bringing notes of creamy fudge, with hints of ginger and stewed berries resting beneath.
Dark chocolate, candied orange, buttered shortbread, and toasted, oaken spice.

I settled down this evening to watch some World Cup football with my first ever glass of Nc'Nean single malt. I have to say it exuded wonderful flavours to the nose and palette and slipped down very well indeed.
Beautifully presented and very very tasty. A little harsh on the finish but add a drop of water or some ice and this becomes a Dram to savour. Will definitely be getting more.
This is a very fine example of what will be the result when somebody decides to have some serious "fun" with the casks! Let it rest in the glass - even longer than you first thought - and your opinion of Nn'nean Whisky gets better and better.
This is a lovely easy to drink single malt if you are trying it for the first time like I did. Fresh and complex and the balance of sweetness and aroma is just right.
Hats off to Nc'nean for producing this corker. Tasted batch 01 as part of a subscription and had to buy a bottle of the 2nd batch. Smooth, clean and very moreish
