Nc’nean unveils a bold new edition of its experimental Huntress series, with Lemon Meadow, a Scottish single malt that fully embodies the distillery’s innovative spirit. A true ode to fermentation, this edition highlights a yeast derived from the production of French sparkling wines, bringing an unexpected and refined touch to this whisky. Aged in a combination of carefully selected casks, Lemon Meadow offers a creamy, floral and deliciously biscuity expression, perfect for those seeking originality.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE: A bright and delicate nose, where the freshness of lemon blends with floral notes of chamomile and a pastry-like sweetness reminiscent of buttery shortbread.
PALATE: The attack is soft and creamy. The palate then develops with herbal aromas carried by chamomile, before rounding out with indulgent notes of butter biscuit. The balance between freshness, creaminess and roundness is perfectly mastered.
FINISH: Long and elegant, with a slightly lemony and biscuity persistence, supported by a silky texture.

Cihuatán Suerte is a limited edition rum inspired by the legend of Muwaan Mat, the Mayan god of luck. The Mayan people believed that this god shared the gift of luck through crystals.
