Ben Nevis distillery was established not far from Fort William in 1825, and it stands in the shadow of its namesake, Scotland's highest mountain. Founded by 'Long John' McDonald (famed for his great height, hence his nickname), Joseph Hobbs is the one who introduced the installation of concrete washbacks and a Coffey still, in order to produce both grain and malt spirit, and blend them on the premises. Ben Nevis has had a number of owners and it was acquired in 1989 by the Japanese Nikka Whisky Distilling Company Ltd and therefore, some of his spirit made is shipped to Japan for several Nikka blended whiskies. Old bottlings of Ben Nevis appear from time to time, and this is one them.
