Tasted as Day 16 of The Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar 2022. Every day is a new adventure with a blind tasting, where we each try to guess the country of origin, the type and age of the whisk(e)y, and the ABV, followed by a reveal at 9PM. Nc'Nean was founded in 2017 with a focus on sustainable practices. From the distillery: Our whisky is made from organic Scottish barley whose natural yields and rich soils contribute depth of flavour. Our gentle fermentation and distillation accentuate the delicate, fruity flavours in the spirit. Matured in specially treated red wine and American whiskey barrels, alongside a small amount of sherry casks, to develop our spirit’s signature body and sweetness. Our whisky makes a big impression with the smallest footprint. Every bottle is certified organic, made in our verified carbon neutral distillery and bottled in a 100% recycled glass bottle.
