Nc'nean Organic Single Malt Batch 3

You'd almost think it is crazy busy at Nc’nean, as their third batch is already sold out. But of course you must keep in mind that every batch is only 5.040 bottles strong. And then things can go quickly indeed. I almost missed out on getting a couple of bottles from this third batch myself.

It’s really all about nuances. With such small batches you do indeed get very small differences. On the nose this is again wonderfully sweet and round with a small prickle of white pepper. Lovely, flowery honey, sweet malt, caramel, nougat and lots of citrus fruit. Think pomelo and lime. Mint in the background. This is again very similar to the first batch which I found very nice and even better than batch two.

Nicely creamy and fruity on the palate, while a prickle of wood shavings manifests itself here nicely. Nuts, citrus, sweet malt. Playful and fresh.

Medium long, warm and very pleasant finish on citrus fruits and nuts.

The kind of malt I really like. Young but very flavorful, playful yet mature and wonderfully affordable. I am a fan!
