Nc'nean Huntress Malted Teacake, 48.5%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
It’s the melting butter that hits your senses first, sliding over the hot teacake with aromas of cookie dough, coconut, and strawberry jam. The creamy butteriness on the palate is sublime, showing fruit loaf, French vanilla, chopped citrus peel, cinnamon, orchard fruit, and muscovado sugar, culminating in a lip-smacking, creamy finish. Matured in bourbon, oloroso sherry, and shaved, toasted, and re-charred casks; this imaginative and evocative fermentation experiment included Belgian ale yeast.
