View the highlights from Nolcha Fashion Week: New York SS15 sponsor Defiant Whisky. Defiant single malt whisky starts with water drawn from deep under the distillery that is of such natural purity, it is not altered in any way. They use 100% malted barley, cold-ground on a custom roller mill. The freshly milled grist begins the mashing process just moments later, and specially cultured yeast, expertly pitched, gives it life. A hand built copper potstill captures the elusive spirit. Toasted American white oak softens the whisky developing a rich, amber color and delicate notes of honey, vanilla, caramel and tannins.



Nolcha Fashion Week: New York, founded by Kerry Bannigan and Arthur Mandel, is a leading award winning event held during New York Fashion Week hosting independent fashion designer runway shows.
