The second limited release of the Nc'nean Quiet Rebels series, which pays tribute to the team behind the Scottish distillery. Lorna is in honour of the first team member of the distillery, Lorna Davidson, a green-fingered gardener and distiller who, rumour has it, grows tomatoes in the stillhouse during the summer months. Ex-American whiskey casks and ex-pineau de charentes casks were chosen by Lorna herself for the maturation of this single malt, making for a complex and fruity dram.
Fresh peaches and apricot compote, with drizzles of caramel, and oily citrus.
Sweet, sticky banana bread and buttered malt loaf, with oaky vanilla, peach pie, and warming spice.
Ripe stone fruits linger alongside gentle spice
First taste of Quiet Rebels was on day 10 of my advent calendar. I knew this was something special on the first sip. I love my malts but no expert. Sometimes you get that hit of flavour, sweet but refined, deep and fruity, warm and pleasantly lingering. Loved it.
