Besides the good of the planet, Nc'nean follows another path: innovative taste experiences. For the limited series Huntress, founder Annabel Thomas and her team experiment with yeast - the ingredient for fascinating aromas. Huntress 2023: Woodland Candy is the first Nc'nean whiskey built on four yeast varieties. For the first time, the unconventional recipe of the single malt includes red wine and white wine yeasts. A dram from the dark recycled bottle unfolds a complex profile of buttery toffee, forest fruits and herbal spices.

The Nc'nean Aon - STR Cask #18-393 was bottled from a single STR Red Wine Cask (STR = ‘scraped’ or ‘shaved’, ‘toasted’, ‘recharred’). This single cask offers the opportunity to taste one of the most important ingredients of the Nc'nean recipe in its purest form - with delicious notes of candied ginger, spiced apricots and blackberry jam.

In addition to the well-being of the planet, Nc'nean follows another trail: innovative flavour experiences. Inspired by its namesake, the Gaelic goddess Neachneohain, known as a hunter, Scotland's leading organic distillery hunts down extraordinary flavours in the limited edition Huntress series. The warming, homely flavours of cherry marzipan cake, apricot jam, custard and a little peppermint tea of the Nc'nean Huntress 2024: Orchard Cobbler are among them in that the distillate used is only produced once a year. Unlike most distilleries, Nc'nean produces two different raw spirits each year: one for whisky that is younger in age and one for whisky that is to be released after at least ten years. The new Orchard Cobbler is based on a distillate from the distillation process in the week following the changeover to this recipe - a time when the cut points are changed and an unusually large number of fruity components are incorporated into the raw spirit. So fruity, in fact, that the single malt was named after one of the team's favourite desserts.

The bottle was signed by Annabel Thomas during our NcNean Dinner on July 17, 2025! The Nc'nean Quiet Rebels series is dedicated to the people who make Scotland's leading organic distillery what it is. These environmentally conscious connoisseurs share a passion for innovative and sustainable spirits. Each of them is personally behind a whisky in the series, which expresses their individual preferences through barrel experiments or yeast trials. For example: fruity, jammy notes with a hint of roasted spices. This is how Amy, Nc'nean's Head of Sustainability, likes her whisky best. Ecological principles are an integral part of her philosophy. That's why their Nc'nean Quiet Rebels - Amy contains not only the typical STR red wine and bourbon casks, but also whiskey matured in rare, organic Maury-filled casks. This fortified wine from France is produced in a similar way to port. The single malt not only tastes delicious, but is also a perfect example of how there are more sustainable ways to produce the things we enjoy. Like lemon curd, plum jam, and brown butter muffins in a carbon-neutral single malt from the wild west coast of the Highlands.

At the Nc'nean distillery in the Highlands, they follow the path of Neachneohain, the Gaelic queen of spirits and guardian of nature. For the ‘Malted Teacake’ edition, a special Belgian ale yeast was used, which lends the distillate an exceptional malty depth. Maturation took place in a precise blend of 56% STR wine casks, 42% ex-bourbon barrels and a small proportion of Oloroso sherry casks, which gives the organic barley a complex, structured aroma.
