Scotland’s leading organic whisky distillery Nc’nean, has
today announced the launch of the latest release from its limited-edition
Huntress Series.
Nc'nean Huntress - Orchard Cobbler (48.5% ABV) which has
been described as "their most innovative whisky to date” is a single malt
Scotch whisky, which was matured in a combination of STR (shaved, toasted and
re-charred) ex-Red wine casks (66%), ex-American whiskey barrels (31%) and
Olorose Sherry casks (3%).

This latest release from the annual series, is inspired by their namesake - Gaelic goddess Neachneohain, who was known as a huntress and for walking her own path. This series is centred around that ethos of discovery, and Nc’nean’s passion for hunting for unique flavours in whisky making.
Nc’nean is widely recognised for pushing the boundaries of
conventional Scotch. Unlike most distilleries, they run two different spirit
runs each year, one for whisky set to be released at a younger age, and one set
to be released after ten plus years.
The spirit matured for Huntress Orchard Cobbler comes from
the distillation in the week after this spirit recipe is switched over – a time
where cut points are changed and unusually high fruity compounds flood into the
spirit. So fruity, that the whisky is named after one of the team’s favourite
desserts.
Limited to 6,100 bottles, Nc’nean Huntress - Orchard Cobbler,
will be available from specialist retailers, from April 23rd, for a RRP of
£88.95.
