Ben Nevis is a curious beast, being a seemingly rather quiet whisky distillery that makes little noise about itself - but also a distillery whose whisky seems to be everywhere. Ben Nevis has a tidy core range of accessible entry-level single malts, which is supplemented by occasional top class official single cask bottlings, while the more eager fans can choose from an abundance of excellent independent bottlings.

In the last few years there's been a surge of interest in Ben Nevis' whisky thanks to some outstanding bottlings of mid-1990s vintages, and the distillery now boasts a substantial cult following.
