The whisky from cask 17-289 dates from August 2017 and was bottled in July 2026 after eight years at a cask strength of 59.4%. It was made exclusively from organically grown Scottish barley, with Anchor and Fermentis yeasts used for fermentation. Its colour comes solely from cask maturation, and it was not chill-filtered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition celebrating Kirsch Import’s 50th anniversary brings whisky together with the work of artist Flora Kinnaird of The Drum. It opens a three-part series of releases. For her artwork, Kinnaird collected seaweed along the Morvern coast, then arranged and pressed it by hand at the distillery. The label draws on this work. The whisky from the cask was bottled into 661 bottles of 0.7 litres each; it is supplied without gift packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark sherry sweetness and rich fruit meet spicy orange notes.

Distillation has taken place there since March 2017. Its name is a shortened form of Neachneohain, a figure from Gaelic legend known as the Queen of Spirits. Dr Jim Swan helped develop the distillery’s approach to distillation and maturation. Lantern-shaped stills allow gentle distillation, while a narrowly selected heart cut supports the spirit’s light, fruit-led style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery uses only organic Scottish barley and its own spring water. Long mashing and fermentation times, along with experiments using different yeasts, are part of its working methods. Its energy comes entirely from renewable sources, cooling water is recirculated, and the spent grain left after mashing feeds the cows on the farm. These production choices provide the background to Nc\u0026#39;nean’s organic whiskies; this particular anniversary release gains its individual character from maturation entirely in an Oloroso cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e8 years\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eScotland\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct category\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWhisky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSmoke\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNot smoky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSingle Malt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eHighlands\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e0.7 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e59.4%\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eDistillation year\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e2017\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMarket operator\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ebringts Schweiz GmbH, Steinrain 18, 4112 Flüh\/CH\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottler\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOfficial bottling\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottling year\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e2026\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eColouring\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask strength or high alcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask size\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eButt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eChill filtration\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAllergens\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOrganic certification\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOrganic control body code\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGB-ORG-06\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask number\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e17-289\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottle count\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e661\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNc\u0026#39;nean Distillery\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNc\u0026#39;nean\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask type\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOloroso Sherry Butt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Nc'nean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57636464165237,"sku":"123932","price":106.05,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0362\/8734\/8871\/files\/71f4f3744d1864a12971b786d7389bb9.webp?v=1791501042","url":"https:\/\/www.bringts.ch\/en\/products\/nc-nean-organic-2017-2026-8-y-o-oloroso-sherry-butt-17-289-50th-anniversary-kirsch-import","provider":"bringts.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
