I had to go commando for this distillery as not in Fort William for long and they wouldn't stay open for me, even though they sent me a free bottle of whisky years ago for an article I wrote with them in in the Whisky Magazine. Got a taxi at 7.30 am and photographed the inside in the first glimpses of the daylight, got to go in some of the building, the worked looked a little like they'd seen it all before. The taxi driver said he did this often!
You know those pictures that are slightly doctored, well Ben Nevis disitlery is near a major road which you don't see on their publicity shots. Not the pretiest of disitlleries but Fort William is worth a visit, some great pubs and Ben nevis for sale in most of them. _________________ https://www.facebook.com/Let-the-drink-talk-675586225966432/ |

outside very industrial but inside it was a pleasure with good home cooked food and a really good tour with a nice dram, i like fort william and will be going up again in october so may well do the tour again if not closed for the winter, some distilleries do and some dont. must check it out on the eb _________________ i've been on a whisky diet, i've lost 3 days already
