Founded in 1825 by ‘Long John’ MacDonald, Ben Nevis is one of the classic Highland distilleries. Ben Nevis was purchased in the 1940s by Joseph Hobbs, who fitted a Coffey still enabling the distillery to produce both malt and grain whisky. A mothballed Ben Nevis was sold in 1981 to Long John Distillers (Whitbread), who refurbished the distillery and restarted production before selling up in 1989 to the Japanese firm Nikka, under whose stewardship the distillery has thrived.
For much of its early life Ben Nevis supplied the famous Dew of Ben Nevis blended whisky and single malt official bottlings were sporadic. That all changed after 1989, when Nikka bottled a 63-year-old Ben Nevis 1926 and embarked on an impressive run of vintage single casks and small batches alongside a core range 10-year-old. The early Nikka bottlings of 1960s & ‘70s vintages are particularly highly sought after. Independent Ben Nevis is abundant.
Thompson Bros is an independent whisky bottler launched by brothers Phil and Simon Thompson, owners of Dornoch distillery and the Dornoch Castle Hotel in the northeastern Highlands.
The Thompson Bros operation was originally set up as an indie bottler to raise funds for the brothers’ Dornoch micro-distillery project but has since become a successful enterprise in its own right, with hundreds of bottlings under their belt at the time of writing in 2025. The Thompsons are big fans of old school whisky and their whiskies are bottled without colouring or chill filtration, usually at cask strength.
