Boutique-y Mc’Nean 3-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Batch 2

The second batch from the Nc’Nean distillery is a 3 Year Old Single Malt, a release of just 324 bottles at 59.8% abv. Matured in a single first-fill American Oak barrel.

Designed as the first fully organic modern distillery in Scotland powered by 100% renewable energy, Nc’nean is one of the new wave of Scottish farm distilleries. Slow mashes, long fermentations, horizontal lyne arms, and shell and tube condensers, with a high, narrow spirit cut produce a light, fruity and estery spirit.

Offical Notes:

Nose: Vanilla ice cream, zesty limes and a herbal, leafy spring hedgerow note with some freshly cut green oak.

Palate: Creamy vanilla, biscuits, and that zesty citrus note transfers from nose to palate.. Cardamom leads the spicy finish.

That Boutique-y Whisky Company have bottled most distilleries in Scotland and are increasingly expanding to include whiskies from around the world. Their limited edition labels are designed by Emily Chappell and reference interesting elements (or in-jokes) about the distillery. 

Boutique-y bottle their batches, which can be single cask or a number of casks, at the strength they deem the whisky is most enjoyable at.
