Organic and female-founded Scotch whisky distillery, Nc’nean, just released its first single cask bottled exclusively for the US market following the success of the brand arriving in America last year.
Founded by Annabel Thomas in 2017, Nc’nean is the only certified fully organic whisky distillery in Scotland. Nc’nean’s Aon series pays homage to its Gaelic roots, with Aon meaning ‘one’ in the ancient language. Aon 18-642 is a first-fill ex-Bourbon cask filled in the independent distillery’s second year of production, and the liquid has been bottled at cask strength. Each chosen cask for the Aon series of expressions is handpicked for its flavour, uniqueness and unrepeatability; Aon 18-642 is no different with only 244 bottles made available.
Powered by 100% renewable energy, Nc’nean has verified net zero carbon emissions from its own operations. Its bottles are made from 100% recycled glass – a first in the Scotch Whisky industry – which saves 40% of the carbon emissions compared with using virgin glass.
Nc’nean Single Cask Aon 18-642 Organic Single Malt Scotch Whisky, priced from $130.00, is currently available in specialty stores in CA, with bottles launching into selected spirits stores in AR, AZ, CO, NY, NJ, CT, MD, FL, GA, IL, IN, MA, MN, NV, OR, TN, TX and WA very soon.
Nc’nean’s flagship expression, its Organic Single Malt Scotch Whisky, priced from $67.00, is available in specialty retailers across the United States including various Binny’s, Spec’s and Total Wine stores, as well as available for online shipping via Reserve Bar.
Note: GSN received a bottle of the Organic Single Malt Scotch for review.
Nc’nean Organic Single Malt Scotch Whisky – GSN’s Remarks: Nice welcoming peaty nose with a light touch overlaying the rich, malty base. Entry is quite smooth and even, with a terrific mix of smoke and grain. The body is medium-light and the overall approach is soft and feathery on the tongue. The flavors are well matched to one another with wood, peat, malt and cogeners all working in harmony. A nice, even fade leaving a lingering honey taste on the palate. Well done. GSN Rating: A
