Ben Nevis Distillery was founded in 1825 at the foot of the famous Ben Nevis mountain near Fort William in the Highlands. The distillery first produced single malt for bottling under the Long John Dew of Ben Nevis label, later on all single malt went in the popular Long John blend.
Ben Nevis has been closed a number of times in the 20th century. The last reopening was in 1990. In addition to the pot stills, the distillery also had a continuous still with which grain whisky was made for some time. Ben Nevis was in that period one of the few whisky producers who could release a 'single blend'.The Ben Nevis single malt has become an established whisky nowadays. There are also many independent Ben Nevis bottlings.
The Taiwanese bottler The Whisky Blues already scored 90 points with a Ben Nevis bottling from 1996, now they released a Ben Nevis from 1995. The Highland single malt whisky matured in a sherry cask for 27 years and was bottled at cask strength (50.6%).
Ben Nevis is one of our favorites and we are certainly enthusiastic about the Archives bottlings with vintage 1996. This is one from that year! Bottled in 2020. It's a bit darker than usual but still a typical Ben Nevis single malt whisky! (49.9%)
The Ben Nevis Distillery produces a classic Highland single malt whisky that scores well on whiskybase.com, for example. Van Wees has now released this Ben Nevis bottling for a reasonable price again. 7 years of maturation in a bourbon cask and at 46%.
Here comes bottler James Eadie in his Small Batch series with a young (8 years old) and, therefore, affordable Ben Nevis single malt whisky. The Highlander matured in two bourbon casks, one 'first fill', the other 'refill', and was bottled at 46%.
This Ben Nevis single malt whisky has been released in the new and affordable 100 Proof series from Signatory Vintage. Not just any Ben Nevis, but a heavily peated one! The malt matured for 4 years in a refill Oloroso cask. Bottled at 57.1% (=100 Proof).
Without much fanfare, Ben Nevis Distillery has redesigned its labels and revamped its range of standard bottlings. This Core Leis is an example of that: an 'entry level' NAS (8 to 10 years?) single malt whisky matured in 1st-fill bourbon casks. (46%)
