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%).
This is a bottle from the very first bottling of the Belgian bottler The Whisky Jury. It is a 23-year-old Ben Nevis single malt whisky that matured in a refill bourbon cask and is bottled at 51.2%. Delicate and complex, a creamy tropical fruit bomb!
Bottler Murray McDavid is known for its expertise in finishing whisky.
However, due to the excellent quality of the cask in which this Ben Nevis single malt whisky matured for 25 years (a bourbon hogshead), this edition did not require finishing! (53.9%)
This bottle was bottled by Sansibar in 2017 for the S-Spirits Shop in Taiwan (see the beautiful label). It is a 19-year-old Ben Nevis single malt whisky that matured in a bourbon hogshead and was bottled at a cask strength of 52.3%.
In 2007, this Ben Nevis was vatted in a bourbon cask and then transferred in 2021 to a PX cask for finishing. However, due to corona, the single malt remained in that cask much longer than intended. That resulted in a nicely sherried dram! (15 y, 50.2%)
Ingelred is a Scandinavian label under bottler Blackadder's supervision, mainly releasing Ben Nevis single malt whiskies, such as this one. The 11-year-old Highlander, with its dark amber colour, matured in a Marsala cask and is bottled at 51.7%.
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%)
