Nc’nean joins Mangrove’s portfolio
Mangrove Global will now distribute Nc’nean organic Scotch whisky in the UK.
Nc’nean Distillery is based on Scotland’s west coast and is known for its innovations, including using longer mashing times and slow fermentation.
The producer secured a £2.5 million (US$3.38m) investment in February, with sales in the US soaring by 37%.
Annabel Thomas, founder and CEO of Nc’nean, said: “As Nc’nean continues to grow in the UK, it was important for us to find a partner that genuinely understands both our whisky and the way we want to build the brand long term.
“Mangrove’s focus on flavour-led spirits and their understanding of the importance of delivering sustainable solutions to the next generation of consumers gave us confidence that they were the right partner for this next stage of our journey.
“We know that once people try our whisky and see the bottle on the shelf, they want to buy it. We’re excited to work with Mangrove to introduce Nc’nean to even more people.”
Nc’nean is also known for its sustainability credentials, with the business holding B Corp certification and being independently verified as net zero.
Nick Gillett, managing director of Mangrove Global, added: “At Mangrove, we build our portfolio around brands that lead with liquid and are anchored by something strong and unique, whether it’s a feature of the liquid or an ethos. Nc’nean does both, and it does so with a boldness that is rare even in a category as storied as Scotch whisky.
“Nc’nean’s range speaks directly to an audience that we know to be growing in the UK. Adding to that the extraordinary liquid and values, it’s the precise combination that we at Mangrove look for in a brand.”
