A really good experience
This was our second visit to Nc'nean, the first being last February (it makes a nice day off from winter walking!)
We made a day trip out of it, with a scenic drive stopping to visit the distillery, and it was well worth the effort of getting there.
It is a little off the beaten track with quite a bit of single track road to negotiate, but whatever the weather it is a nice scenic journey (actually spectacular this time).
We were welcomed with a coffee/tea & started with a chat explaining how they came to be, and why they are in the middle of nowhere! This was followed by a tour round the distillery explaining the complete process and which also highlighted that their organic & sustainable ethos applies to everything that they do. A tasting rounded things off nicely - apart from a bit of shopping, obviously...
At 2 hours or so this is longer than most distillery tours, but the time flew by. On this occasion our tour guide was Douglas who did a great job & managed to answer all of our questions - thanks Douglas.
And while they may be a fairly new distillery, in my opinion they make some really good & very drinkable whiskies :-)
Remember to book in advance and to allow plenty of time for the journey.
As Arnie says, we'll be back
