Nc'Nean Aon Cask 17-234 By Any Means Single Malt Whisky

Aon means one in Gaelic and represents our collection of single cask bottlings. Each cask has been hand-picked because it is delicious, unique and unrepeatable.
-
Named "By any means" but our friend, chef and author Gill Meller, this whisky was originally matured in an ex-Bourbon cask, before being moved to British ex-Rum cask in July 2023. Gill accompanied the cask via land and sea on a rather turbulent journey from the South West of England to our distillery on the very west coast of Scotland, where he filled it with that ex-Bourbon cask spirit. 
-
The result is a deliciously rounded spirit, with flavours of spiced orange, herbal toffee and candied peaches. 
-
282 bottles / 51.4% abv / 70cl / Certified organic
Natural colour / Non-chill filtered. Max 10% discount codes valid on seasonal releases or single cask bottlings. Max 4 bottles per person.

Whisky Resource Note

While technically this is a single cask in terms that it is not a marriage of several casks, it does not fulfil the SWA technical guidance regarding the definition of a single cask - this whisky was originally matured in ex-Bourbon before a finishing period in British Rum Casks. There is also no confirmation that this release is cask strength. The value score reflect the information that we do know.
