About Ben Nevis

Under the shoulder of Britain's highest mountain at Fort William, Long John MacDonald founded Ben Nevis in 1825. Its spirit is big, characterful and, at times, wonderfully wild, a distillery with a cult all its own. Owned since 1989 by Japan's Nikka, a quiet marriage of Highland and Japanese sensibilities.
