The distillery of the same name is located at the foot of Scotland’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, in the western Highlands near Fort William. It was built in 1825 by John McDonald, a descendant of the Lord of the Isles. Production was halted between 1984 and 1990 but resumed a year after the distillery was acquired by Nikka in 1989. The water for Ben Nevis comes from the Allt a’ Mhuilinn burn. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
