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.
