Nc'nean Ex-Amarone AON Single Cask 20-674 Organic Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Nc'nean Ex-Amarone AON Single Cask 20-674 Organic Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a cask-strength 57.1% ABV (114.2 proof) organic single malt, 700mL, drawn from a single ex-Amarone red wine cask — just 491 bottles, imported exclusively by ImpEx Beverages. Distilled in May 2020 and bottled in May 2025, it spent five years in oak that once held Amarone, one of Italy's most intense and luxurious red wines — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Nc'nean distills on Scotland's wild west coast with a genuine net-zero philosophy: 100% organic Scottish barley, renewable energy, and a light, fruity house style built for cask experimentation. The AON series is the distillery's showcase for hand-picked single casks of unique character — and cask 20-674 is its first-ever ex-Amarone single cask release in the U.S. The Amarone cask layers dark wine-driven depth over Nc'nean's elegant orchard-fruit spirit, bottled non-chill filtered with no added color.
Tasting notes (Whisky Advocate, 92 points): aromas of raspberries in syrup, toasted spices, sour fruit chews, and shredded ginger; flavors of baked strawberry and apple, sour fruits with a spicy kick, ending on red currant and berry compote. Complementary notes: honey-roasted cashews, milk chocolate, and a long chocolate-ganache finish.
Why buy: A 92-point, cask-strength, organic single cask from a cult distillery — with fewer than 500 bottles in existence, this is the definition of unrepeatable. More Scotch at Del Mesa Liquor or browse Nc'nean at Del Mesa Liquor.
