Tasting Notes

Nose

Citrus, peach, apricot and spice. The STR red wine cask influence (55% of the blend) gives the nose its distinctive tropical brightness. Bourbon casks (43%) add vanilla, sherry (2%) a gentle richness.

Palate

Tropical and citrusy — the organic Scottish barley provides a clean, pure foundation. The STR casks add exotic fruit notes — pineapple, passion fruit — that are Nc'nean's signature. A bright, engaging whisky at 46%.

Finish

Fruity with a gentle spice. Clean and well-balanced.

Nc'nean Organic Single Malt Batch 15 continues the Morvern peninsula distillery's core expression — organic Scottish barley distilled, matured and bottled sustainably. Batch 15, filled between May and August 2018, uses 55% STR red wine casks, 43% bourbon casks and 2% oloroso sherry casks.

Each batch reflects a slightly different snapshot of the distillery's maturing stocks, and Batch 15 shows a confident, fruit-forward spirit. The STR (shaved, toasted, recharred) wine casks are the defining influence — Dr Jim Swan's technique producing tropical fruit notes that give Nc'nean its distinctive character.

At 46%, unpeated, organic and sustainably produced in 100% recycled glass bottles powered by renewable energy, Nc'nean Batch 15 is a whisky with a clear conscience and genuine quality. The tropical brightness, the clean malt and the sustainable production make it one of Scotland's most principled and enjoyable core releases.
