Little Brown Dog Nc'nean Distillery 2017 STR Cask 70cl 57.9%

Little Brown Dog Nc'nean Distillery 2017 STR Cask The team at Nc'nean will only be working with a restricted number of indie bottlers each year so this is a rare chance to try a single cask, at cask strength, natural colour and without chill filtration. What is an STR cask? Shaved, toasted and recharred. It seemed an appropriate pick in hindsight, as STRs were recommended by the late Dr Jim Swan, grandfather to many of the newer generation distilleries. Sadly he never got to experience the whisky from Nc'nean but we'll raise a wee dram to him from this cask.

317 Bottles, mature beyond its years. Colour, 1978 Mini Clubman. Nose, Cranberry sauce, marshmallow, geranium. Palate, Birch syrup, nectarine, unsalted butter. Finish, Wild raspberries and thick jersey cream
