Review and Tasting

Sampled on 18/02/2020

Appearance:

Crystal Clear.

Aroma:

Bready new-make barley character is very evident, unripe pineapple and fruity esters sits alongside faint heather and herbal complexity.

Taste:

Peppery spirituous spice, with the same bread and barley notes found on the nose. Faint herbal aromas and a touch of blackcurrant and other dark fruits.

Aftertaste:

A spicy, bready fnish.

Overall:

The New make character dominates the flavours brought in by a second distillation but in a good way. Nc'nean is great with tonic and makes a pleasing change to gin.
