Aon means one in Gaelic and represents our collection of single cask bottlings. Each cask has been hand-picked because it is delicious, unique and unrepeatable. - This indulgent Madeira-finished whisky was created in partnership with Carrie Smith of Hawksmoor Edinburgh, winner of our 2025 Bartender Cocktail Competition. Carrie’s winning serve reimagined the Scottish fable Heather Ale.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as NC'NEAN DISTILLERY LIMITED, number SC445789. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
The company describes its own premises: "Tucked away in the Westerly Highlands of Scotland, we've been named as one of the top 10 Scottish distilleries to visit by The Guardian. Stories from our small distillery on the west coast of Scotland." Self-declared (§3.3), read from the company's site. Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
