Six cask finishes - small-batch Bourbon casks, Methuselah Oloroso Sherry casks, Madeira casks, Marsala casks, Port pipes and Cabernet Sauvignon wine barrels - are deliciously blended, to create a unique whisky with a rich and seductive aromatic profile.
Nose: Nc' Nean Cask Strenght MN21 offers powerful aromas of ripe fruit, sweet spices and toasty oak. Feel: On the palate, this whisky proves intense with notes of candied fruit, caramel and vanilla, as well as a subtle hint of smoke. Finish: The finish is long and warm, leaving lingering notes of dried fruit and precious wood.
Nose: Hazelnut and smoke, accompanied by malty sweetness and ripe fruit. Then come apricots in syrup, ripe pear, malted vanilla reminiscent of cracked barley, crème brûlée and sweet honey. The smoky peat note is discreet but nevertheless quite present. This evokes shoe polish and leather and earth.
Mouth: Soft and mellow, comes the heavily roasted malt reminiscent of smoked muesli with fruit and honey. Then come smoked apricot jam, crushed barley, peat, burnt heather, citrus and redcurrant. With a drop of water, its smoke and elegant minerality become stronger, offering a magnificent counterbalance to its sweetness.
Finish: Sweet with earthy flavors, followed by a smoky, spicy and herbal note.
Nose: Red fruits and passion fruit notes.
Mouth: Citrus zest, vanilla bean, crème caramel and crushed almonds.
