The Nc'Nean 2017 Aon Ex-Bourbon Rivesaltes Finish is a distinguished single malt whisky from the sustainable Nc'Nean Distillery, nestled in the picturesque Highlands of Scotland. The whisky forms part of the Aon series, known for its single cask bottlings. This particular release, Aon 17-329, was selected by Elena Wright, the winner of the 2022 Nc'Nean Cocktail Competition, showcasing both excellence and exclusivity. Distilled at the end of 2017, this whisky began its maturation journey in an ex-bourbon cask. In May 2022, it was transferred to an ex-Rivesaltes cask, enhancing its complexity and flavor profile. The use of a STR-Red Wine cask (shaved, toasted, and re-charred) imparts delightful notes of raspberry jam, candied grapefruit, and freshly buttered toast to the whisky. Nc'Nean Distillery is a certified organic distillery that has made significant strides in sustainability, achieving net-zero emissions in 2021. Founded in 2013 by Annabel Thomas and her family, Nc'Nean aims to revolutionize the Scotch Whisky industry through its commitment to natural production methods. The distillery embarked on its journey in 2014, with the first spirit run taking place in March 2017. Bottled at a robust 51.4% ABV, this limited edition gem comprises only 282 bottles, making it a prized possession for any whisky connoisseur. It stands as a testament to Nc'Nean's fruitful collaboration with independent spirits retailers across Scotland.
This whisky is unique due to its dual maturation process, starting in an ex-bourbon cask and finishing in an ex-Rivesaltes cask, which enhances its complexity and flavor profile.
Only 282 bottles were produced, making it a highly exclusive release.
This specific bottle, Aon 17-329, was chosen by Elena Wright, the winner of the 2022 Nc'Nean Cocktail Competition.
The Nc'Nean 2017 Aon Ex-Bourbon Rivesaltes Finish is a stellar example of how wine cask finishes can enhance whisky. Its rich, fruit-forward aroma and well-balanced flavor profile make it an enjoyable and easy-to-drink option. The limited production run and the sustainability efforts of Nc'Nean Distillery add to its appeal. This whisky is definitely worth trying if you can get your hands on one.
