The Nc'Nean Distillery, located on the Morvern Peninsula on the west coast of Scotland, is one of the youngest and most environmentally friendly whisky distilleries in the country. Founded in 2017, Nc'Nean became known as Scotland's first fully organic distillery and focuses on sustainable production methods. The distillery exclusively uses Scottish organic barley and operates its facilities with 100% renewable energy. The distillery aims to create new flavors while promoting eco-friendly practices.
The name Nc'Nean is derived from "Neachneohain," the Queen of Spirits in Gaelic legend. Nc'Nean's first whisky release, launched in the spring of 2020, was characterized by a light and fruity profile, with notes of citrus, apricot, peach, and spices. The distillery has also released a series of special editions, including the "Quiet Rebels" series and the "Huntress" series, known for their unique flavor profiles and limited availability.
A distinctive feature of the Nc'Nean Distillery is its commitment to sustainability. It is the first distillery in the UK to be certified as a net-zero emissions operation and uses 100% recycled glass for its bottles. These sustainable practices have earned Nc'Nean international recognition, including awards such as "Sustainable Distillery of the Year" and the "Green Award."
Nc'Nean's whiskies offer a modern interpretation of Scottish single malts and are suitable for both neat consumption and cocktails. This innovative and environmentally conscious approach has made Nc'Nean a significant player in the modern whisky world.
