Nc'Nean presents with pride the new Huntress 2023, a whisky made from 100% organically grown Scottish barley and fermented with a unique mixture of four different yeast strains, including red and white wine yeasts. The Woodland Candy Edition is the latest release from the distillery and, like its predecessor, has no specific age. The whisky was matured from February to September 2018 in a combination of 65% STR (Staved, Toasted, and Re-charred) red wine casks and 35% bourbon casks. The whisky has an alcohol content of 48.5% Vol. and is naturally bottled without colorants or chill filtration to preserve its full aroma and flavor.
The 2023 release, Woodland Candy, is Nc'Nean's most intriguing and innovative yet. It is bold and creamy, with flavors of buttery toffee, forest fruits, and a touch of herbal spice. It is the first time Nc'Nean has launched a whisky featuring a special four yeast recipe, which adds a riot of flavor and aroma, transporting you to the ancient mossy woodlands of the distillery's home on the wild west coast of Scotland.
This limited edition Nc'Nean Organic Huntress 2023 Woodland Candy Single Malt Whisky is a testament to innovation and deserves full attention. The whisky was matured in both classic first-fill bourbon casks from America and unique STR red wine casks. The STR casks were made by toasting and re-charring the oak barrels before filling them with the spirit.
The Nc'Nean Organic Huntress 2023 Woodland Candy Single Malt Whisky has a powerful and complex aroma, with notes of buttered toffee, tropical fruits, candied fruit peels, and dried berries, complemented by a sweetness of toffee. The palate is full-bodied and multi-layered, with wine and fruit notes, honey, and vanilla, followed by creamy malt, fennel, and spices. The finish is long, with oak enhanced by clove and pepper, complemented by plum compote and fondant, with a silky mouthfeel.
Scottish whisky has certain rules and guidelines, but the distillers are allowed to be creative. The Nc'Nean Organic Huntress 2023 Woodland Candy Single Malt Whisky is an example of such creativity, a modern Scotch Whisky from Scotland that is best enjoyed as a class of its own. It is the second seasonal release for the spring, released by the young distillery on the west coast.
"Made by Nature, not by Rules" is the motto of Annabel Thomas and her team, who are active in the western Highlands, facing the Isle of Mull. After Annabel gave up her urban job in 2013, she initiated the establishment of her own 100% sustainable distillery, which has been in operation since 2017 and is led by Gordon Wood. The distillery obtains its electricity from renewable energies and recycles almost all of its waste, making it a unique case in Scotland. The bottle is also made of 100% recycled glass. The use of organic barley, which is characterized by low harvest yields, and slow, careful processes characterize the innovative spirit of Nc'Nean. The organic barley forms the basis for its whisky, which is innovatively produced with four yeast strains in this case. Among them are those that are usually used for red and white wine.
