Nc'nean Aon STR Red Wine Single Cask 18-405 Scotch Whisky

Experience a rare and exceptional single cask expression with Nc'nean Aon STR Red Wine Single Cask 18-405. This limited release from Scotland's pioneering sustainable distillery showcases the innovative use of STR (Shaved, Toasted, Re-charred) red wine casks, creating a whisky of remarkable depth and complexity.

Part of Nc'nean's prestigious Aon (meaning 'one' in Gaelic) single cask series, this individually numbered bottle represents cask 18-405, filled in 2018. The STR red wine cask treatment intensifies the wine influence while adding layers of toasted oak character, resulting in a rich, fruit-forward profile that's both elegant and powerful.

Tasting Profile:

• Rich red berry fruits - cherry, raspberry, and blackcurrant
• Dark chocolate, toasted oak, and warm baking spices
• Notes of vanilla, dried fruit, and subtle wine tannins
• Full-bodied, velvety texture with a long, luxurious finish

About STR Casks: The Shaved, Toasted, Re-charred process rejuvenates wine casks by removing the top layer of wood, toasting it to caramelize sugars, then re-charring to open the grain. This technique maximizes flavor extraction and creates exceptional complexity.

Sustainability: Crafted from 100% organic Scottish barley, bottled in recycled glass, and produced at Scotland's first net-zero distillery using renewable energy. Nc'nean is a certified B Corporation.

A collector's piece for whisky enthusiasts seeking innovative, sustainable, and exceptionally crafted single cask expressions.
