Situated at the base of, and named after Britain's tallest mountain, Ben Nevis was founded by 'Long' John McDonald and stayed in the McDonald family until the 1940's. It was then that Joseph Hobbs took over the distillery and revamped production by installing a Coffey still allowing them to experiment in both grain and malt whiskies. The distillery was bought by Nikka in 1989 and about three-quarters of the new make is shipped directly to Japan for use predominantly in Nikka Black.

Released for The Whisky Exchange at Whisky Show 2019 as part of the Magic of the Cask series and their 20th anniversary celebrations. The magical label design hides all the bottle information until a UV light is shined on it!
