Nc’nean organic single malt scotch whisky

• Available from Master of Malt (£48.95), The Whisky Exchange (£51.95), Amazon (£54.50)

Buying for a whisky fan? This single malt, made from organic Scottish barley, has a lovely richness and depth of flavour that’s unusual for such a young spirit. It’s deliciously smooth and clean, with light citrus notes, peachy overtones, a touch of spice and a subtle sweetness which comes from having been matured first in ex-bourbon, then in ex-red wine barrels.
