Description

Nc'nean's Huntress Woodland Candy is a limited-edition bottling from 2023, created by one of the most progressive and sustainable distilleries in the Scottish Highlands. This release revolves around innovation in cask selection and flavor development, with a dominant influence from STR red wine casks , a technique that brings out the intensity and fruitiness.

Distilled in 2018, the whisky has matured for four years: young, vibrant, yet remarkably layered thanks to the cask combination. The ex-bourbon casks impart soft vanilla and citrus notes, while the STR wine casks impart powerful notes of red fruit, spice, and woody sweetness.
