Nc'nean distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery in Drimnin on the Morvern peninsula of the Highlands, Scotland.[1][2] The distillery is beside the Sound of Mull, opposite the Isle of Mull.[3] The distillery name Nc'nean, comes from "Neachneohain", a Gaelic legend which translates as the Queen of Spirits (it is pronounced Nc-ne-an).[4]
The distillery focuses on producing an organic spirit with minimum impact on the local environment.[1] The distillery was the first in the UK to reach net zero carbon emissions during whisky production.[5][6][7][8] The distillery uses renewable electricity, offsets emissions by forest planting and uses 100% recycled glass in its bottles.[7][5] The whisky is unpeated.[9]
