Welcome to Ben Nevis Distillery and Visitor Centre in Fort William, Inverness, Scotland. We invite you to discover the secrets of Whisky distilling and enjoy the unique sensation of the Dew of Ben Nevis.
Your visit is sure to be an unforgetable experience.
Ben Nevis Distillery established in Fort William Inverness, in 1825, 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.
Incorporated within Ben Nevis Distillery is The Legend of the Dew of Ben Nevis 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.
After your experience with Hector, a conducted tour of the production areas by a trained guide concludes with a complementary 'tasting'.
After your tour around our Distillery why not relax with a refreshment or if you are hungry, try some of our delicious home cooking in our coffee shop and restaurant. It will be an unforgettable treat.
There are some who would have you believe that there exists a kind of divine secret, a miraculous ingredient or genius behind the manufacture of Scotch Whisky. I however, acknowledge no miracle other than that which is worked when science and nature combine.
We are fully fortunate in that nature in her magnificence, has created on the hill behind us, an ample supply of peat in our own banks to fuel the fires drying the barley.
