Nc'nean Quiet Rebels Lorna Organic Single Malt
Pioneering sustainable whisky brand, Nc’nean, is proud to introduce ‘Quiet Rebels Lorna’ - the second release in its autumn seasonal series. Whiskies which are curated by and celebrate individuals from its dynamic team. This much-anticipated release is named after Nc’nean’s first-ever team member, Lorna Davidson. In 2015, Lorna decided to venture from Perthshire to the beautiful and wild Morvern peninsula, before the distillery was even built, and hasn’t looked back since. Diverse in her skillset, Lorna kicked off her career with Nc’nean keeping a team of builders fed during the construction of the distillery. Once the build was complete, there was no question about what Lorna would tackle next … making the whisky itself. Learning from Gordon, Nc’nean’s Distillery Manager, Lorna did just that, taking to distilling like a duck to water, and this is what she has been doing ever since. Lorna is also the most green-fingered of Nc’nean’s distillers: she has turned the stillhouse into a greenhouse, growing tomatoes, courgettes and luffa plants amongst many other things. Lorna likes her whisky on the sweeter side, notes of banana bread, grapefruits and peach icecream come together in this delicious bottling. A lovely combination of American whiskey casks and ex Pinau des Charentes.
Wolfburn Small Batch Release No 458 Single Malt Whisky
Wolfburn Small Batch Release No. 458 is the seventh small batch release from Scotland's northernmost mainland distillery, crafted from a precisely equal marriage of two exceptional cask types. A 50/50 split of 7-year-old spirit matured in first-fill Pedro Ximenez sherry butts and lightly peated spirit matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, it is bottled at natural cask strength of 64% ABV without chill filtration. Just 5,100 bottles were produced, making this a genuinely rare and collectable expression. Why You'll Love It Wolfburn's Small Batch series represents the distillery at its most experimental and expressive, and No. 458 is a particularly compelling release. The marriage of first-fill PX sherry and first-fill bourbon casks produces a profile of extraordinary complexity, with rich dark fruit, coffee, and treacle from the sherry side meeting hazelnut, almond, and a gentle thread of peat smoke from the bourbon and lightly peated spirit. Bottled at cask strength without chill filtration, every nuance of the maturation is preserved exactly as intended. With only 5,100 bottles in existence, this is a whisky to seek out and savour. Distillery & Maturation Wolfburn Distillery was established in 2013 in Thurso, Caithness, on the site of the original Wolfburn Distillery that operated in the 1820s, making it Scotland's northernmost mainland distillery. Small Batch No. 458 is a marriage of two distinct parcels: 7-year-old spirit matured in first-fill Pedro Ximenez sherry butts, and lightly peated spirit matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, combined in equal measure. Bottled at natural cask strength of 64% ABV without chill filtration. 5,100 bottles produced. Tasting Notes The nose opens with aromas of treacle and coffee leading the way to cherry and dried spice. On the palate, it begins with hazelnut, almonds, and cloves, giving way to a soft peat smoke that weaves through the rich, dark fruit character from the PX sherry casks. Full-bodied, complex, and deeply reward
