Ben Nevis Distillery

The Brand

Ben Nevis Distillery is one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Scotland. The distillery is nestled at the foot of Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, which has a summit elevation of 4,406 feet above sea level. This imposing mountain provides an impressive background to a traditional Scottish craft. 

The Legend of the Dew

Ben Nevis Distillery Visitor Centre, built into an old warehouse dating from 1862 and former bottling hall, which still retains some of its original features.

You will encounter the mythical giant Hector McDram who will reveal the Legend of the Dew of Ben Nevis in a specially commissioned audio visual presentation, followed by a conducted tour of the production areas by guide. Your tour concludes with a complementary 'tasting' with the option of relaxing with a refreshment or some delicious home cooking in coffee shop and restaurant.
