Nc'nean Quiet Rebels: Lorna Whisky
In stock
Introducing the second release from the Autumn seasonal series, Quiet Rebels. This series is all about the people who make Nc'nean.
This year the whisky has been chosen by Nc'nean's first ever team member, Lorna. Back in 2015, before the distillery was even built, Lorna left Perthshire and made her way up to the Morvern peninsula alongside her husband John, who had taken over as farm manager in Drimnin.
Lorna likes her whisky on the sweeter side. Notes of banana bread, grapefruit and peach ice cream come together in this delicious bottling. A lovely combination of American whisky casks and ex-Pineau des Charentes casks.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Sunlit amber with a warm copper-gold glow and a delicate peach-tinted sheen.
Nose
Banana bread sweetness mingles with grapefruit zest and peach ice cream, wrapped in creamy vanilla and gentle oak. The influence of American whisky casks layered with ex-Pineau des Charentes casks lends a luscious, dessert-like aroma.
Palate
Silky and creamy, this coats the palate with banana bread and peach ice cream, while grapefruit zest lends brightness. Ex-Pineau des Charentes casks bring honeyed fruit and orchard sweetness; American oak adds vanilla spice and warmth, guiding to a long, luscious finish.
Finish
Long and indulgent, the finish coats the palate with bakery-sweet banana bread and peach ice cream, brightened by grapefruit zest. Subtle oak and a final kiss of Pineau des Charentes linger, leaving a dessert-like, elegant warmth.
