About the Westie Sponge Edition No.1 Nc'Nean 5 Year Old 55% ABV 700ml
This 2018 vintage Nc'Nean was matured in a pair of First Fill Hogshead casks for 5 years before bottling at 55%.
Producer Description
"This is Westie Sponge, a new (slightly more serious) side-series of Whisky Sponge that celebrates the single malts of the West Highlands and Islands.
"Whisky Sponge is from the west coast of Scotland and as such it’s a place that holds a very special place in his heart. He’s always wanted to do a series that celebrates and showcases the often characterful, full-bodied and evocative whiskies of these wildest and most beautiful parts of Scotland. And this is it.
"For Westie Sponge One, we’ve selected two casks of Nc’Nean single malt. These were distilled in 2018 from two different yeast recipes: Anchor and Fermentis, and Anchor, Fermentis and DistilaMax RM. They were matured in two 1st fill hogsheads, before being combined a few months ago and put back into the same two casks. Half of this mix – 340 bottles - has been bottled as Westie Sponge One with a slightly reduced bottling strength of 55%. The remainder has been re-racked into refill wood and will be bottled at some time in the future...
"This is a surprisingly mature and rather lusciously fruity young whisky that balances some nice richness from the casks, alongside a detailed and vivid fruit character from the distillate."
