Nc'Nean Batch No.1

Nc'Nean Batch No.1 is a beautiful introduction from this young, innovative distillery on Scotland’s west coast. With a focus on sustainability and modern production methods, this whisky proves that a short maturation period does not have to limit depth and complexity. This expression is matured in a combination of STR (Shaved, Toasted & Re-charred) red wine casks and bourbon casks, creating a fresh, fruity, and elegant whisky with a subtle spiciness. Nc'Nean Batch No.1 is a perfect example of how innovation and craftsmanship come together in a modern single malt.
