The Nant Port Cask Single Malt Whisky was matured in ex-Tawny (Australian port-style) casks sourced from South Australia. Bottled at 43% ABV, this expression delivers a rich and complex profile, with no chill filtration or added colouring, ensuring the whisky’s natural depth is preserved. With Nant Distillery no longer in operation, this release has become increasingly rare and highly sought after by collectors.
