Ben Nevis Distillery is located at Lochy Bridge in Fort William, Scotland. It sits just at the base of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles, which rises to 4,409 feet 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, Coire Leis and Coire na’Ciste.
Founded in 1825 as an independent enterprise, it has been owned by Nikka Whisky Distilling of Tokyo, Japan, since 1989.
