Named for the Legendary Scotch which was smuggled from a wrecked cargo ship off the west coast of Scotland in 1941 (and the film of the same name based on those events), the Whisky Galore range is another of Duncan Taylor's unadulterated selections.
Ben Nevis Distillery sits in the shadow of the mountain it is named for, the highest peak in the British Isles. Established in 1825, it remains one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Scotland, later becoming one of the first to produce malt and grain whiskies simultaneously.
