About Ben Nevis Distillery
The Ben Nevis distillery was founded in 1825 by John MacDonald as an independent enterprise and is located in Fort William, Scotland at the base of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles, which rises to 1,345m above sea level. A coastal distillery in the Western Highlands, Ben Nevis draws its water from the Allt a’Mhuilinn which originates from two pools on Ben Nevis, Coire Leis and Coire na’Ciste. The distillery is owned by Nikka Whisky Distilling of Tokyo, Japan, since 1989.

The character of Ben Nevis Whisky is quite strong and intense as Ben Nevis regularly uses peat smoke to dry their malt.
