Nc'Nean draws inspiration from Neachneohain, the Gaelic Celtic Goddess known as the Queen of Spirits. Founder Annabel Thomas, inspired by this fierce huntress and protector of nature, established the distillery in 2017 on her family estate, Drimnin in Morvern, just across the sea from Tobermory on Mull.
With a modest annual capacity of approximately 100,000 liters, Nc'Nean is committed to sustainability and harmony with nature. The distillery utilises organic barley sourced from 10 certified farms in eastern Scotland. A Biomass Boiler, fuelled by locally-sourced woodchip from replenished forests, actively sustains the energy for the stills.
Water conservation is a priority, with 80% allocated to cooling vapours in the condensers using a dedicated Cooling Pool filled with rainwater. The distillery responsibly sources water for whisky production from a natural spring located behind the distillery. Waste management reflects environmental responsibility, with no old waste sent to landfills. The distillery repurposes Pot Ale as fertilizer on local farmland, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.
Nc'Nean Organic Botanical Spirit is fresh, fruity and floral - an innovative spirit, perfect for gin lovers. 100% organic spirit. Distilled with a unique combination of classic gin botanicals and local Scottish plants to create a rich and floral spirit. It’s the barley spirit that really makes the difference adding a malty, fruity undertone that plays exceptionally well with the chosen botanicals.
A blend of traditional gin flavours and locally foraged plants, including juniper, coriander, angelica, liquorice, chamomile, grapefruit, bog myrtle, thyme, sorrel, and heather, make up the ten botanicals in this mix.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
