Nc'nean Huntress Orchard Cobbler, 48.5%

Price: 120 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Nc’nean’s two spirit runs mature at younger and older ages. This experimental whisky captures the switchover in recipes. Aromas of caraway seeds, rosemary, peppermint fondant cream, wild garlic, honey, and white pepper. The palate serves up apple pie, cherry tart, baked plum, Jaffa cake, lime, and gentle spices. It has good body, a creamy texture, and plenty of juicy fruits, with a dry finish of peppermint tea, summer berries, and candied peel.
