    I have not tried that many Ben Nevis (this is only my seventh), but with only one exception they have all been fantastic. The distillery lies at the foot of a mountain with the same name in quite an i… read more

    This is the oldest Ben Nevis I ever tried. It is no less than 45 years old and was bottled from a sherry cask under the Maltman label from the Meadowside Blending Company from Glasgow. Just like the 42… read more

    Alchemist, the label says Alc-Hem-Ist, is the brain child of Gordon Wright, who (together with Mark Reynier and Simon Coughlin) resurrected Bruichladdich. Initially his label received quite some acclaim,… read more

    This is an ‘old’ Ben Nevis, meaning a distillate from before Nikka took over. You will remember that the Japanese group Nikka (known for Yoichi and Myagikyo) acquired Ben Nevis in 1989. Since then, only… read more

    A friend told me of a camping trip several years ago in Glencoe, Scotland. He and his buddies were holed up in the only pub in town. After several rounds they noticed a dusty bottle behind the bar named… read more

    The Ben Nevis 10 Year Old looks dated in the bottle; the design is the epitome of kitsch, with the torn-paper label and faded watercolour painting on the bottle. I, however, found this endearing. It is… read more
