INNOVATIVE, SUSTAINABLE & FEMALE-FOUNDED: NC’NEAN WHISKY MAKES ITS DEBUT IN THE US

With an uncompromising focus on flavour and sustainability, Scotland’s only fully organic whisky distillery, Nc’nean, has officially landed its light and fruity single malt in America. The small female-led distillery has just been ranked 21^st in Drinks International’s Top 50 Most Admired Whisky brands in the world. Nc’nean is the only new Scotch whisky to make the top 25, putting the fledgling distillery amongst some of the world’s biggest heritage brands.

Founded by trailblazer Annabel Thomas, Nc’nean is a young, independent, organic whisky distillery on the west coast of Scotland. It began distilling in March 2017, with a mission to craft delicious whisky that exists in harmony with the planet, resulting in an incredibly high scoring B Corp certification. The award-winning single malt has been capturing the hearts and taste buds of consumers across the UK and Europe with its light and fruity flavours of citrus, peach, apricot and spice. 

It is the only fully organic whisky distillery in Scotland and is powered by 100% renewable energy, resulting in verified net zero status for carbon emissions from its own operations¹. Its bottles are made from 100% recycled glass – a first in the Scotch whisky industry – which saves 40% of the carbon emissions compared with using virgin glass.

Welcoming the arrival of her single malt in America, Annabel Thomas, founder and CEO of Nc’nean, said:

“I am really excited to see Nc’nean launching in the US. When I left my previous job as a consultant in London 10 years ago, I could have only dreamed that one day we’d be launching our award-winning whisky in America. To be able to share our story of sustainability and innovation with the US consumer is both a privilege and a landmark moment for our small distillery.”

Nc’nean’s Organic Single Malt Whisky recently won Gold at the prestigious US Spirits Rating and a Double Gold at San Francisco Spirits Competition and is now available in specialty retailers across the United States where pricing varies by state ($70 – $95 depending on location).

A second whisky, from Nc’nean’s limited edition Quiet Rebels series, is coming soon to the US. For more information on when the velvety, rich and creamy Quiet Rebels Gordon expression will hit the shelves in the United States, you can sign up to the dedicated US and Canada newsletter here.
