Unpolluted yet rich in local character, this water is distilled into whiskies that embody the distinctive flavors of the region.Ben Nevis is renowned for its rich layers of fruitiness, chocolate, and vanilla flavors, complemented by notes of dried fruits and orange. Its whiskies are characterized by a full-bodied texture and subtle smoky hints, embodying the quintessential traits of Highland whiskies.
