Nc'nean AON 20-674 Ex-Amarone Single Cask Organic Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl
A bold experiment in cask influence, Nc'nean AON 20-674 is the distillery’s first-ever ex-Amarone single cask release in the U.S.—a limited edition bottled exclusively for ImpEx Beverages. This organic single malt was distilled on Scotland’s wild west coast and matured for five years in a rich, red wine cask that once held Amarone, one of Italy’s most intense and luxurious wines.
