Nc’nean marks first whisky release with cask sale 16th July, 2020 by Owen Bellwood
Highland distillery Nc’nean is offering 60 casks of new make spirit for sale to the public in celebration of the upcoming release of its first Scotch whisky bottling.
According to the spirits business,
Nc’nean, which is based on the west coast of Scotland and was founded by Annabel Thomas and Derek Lewis in 2013, plans to release its first bottles of Scotch whisky later this year.
To mark the occasion, the distillery, which runs entirely on renewable energy, will offer filled casks of new make spirit for sale. Whisky fans will be able to purchase Sherry-seasoned casks priced at £4,100 (US$5,100), ex-Bourbon barrels for £3,000 (US$3,700) or STR ex-wine casks priced at £3,900 (US$4,900).
Alternatively, consumers can also elect to purchase a second style of spirit featuring adjusted mashing, different yeast recipes and altered cut points to create a whisky that “will be perfect in 10 years, but will not be ready in five”. This option features an additional £500 (US$600) cost.
