The Ben Nevis distillery was founded by John MacDonald in 1825, with his son later opening the now-closed Nevis distillery. Ben Nevis was among the first to use continuous distillation for both Grain and Malt Whisky. Douglas Laing’s Xtra Old Particular range includes the rare Ben Nevis 25 Year Old, matured in a single sherry butt and highly sought after in Asia.
