Coire Leis
From the highest water source in Scotland
IT BEGINS AS RAIN OR SNOW-MELT AT OUR IMPOSING PEAK, 1,345 METRES ABOVE SEA LEVEL. A PLACE OF INTENSE PURITY AND STILLNESS.
Our water begins its gradual descent. Filtering through a thin layer of peat, it flows under impassable granite into two craggy lochans, Coire Leis and Coire na Ciste, and onwards.
Emerging from their ice-cold depths, it spills into streams, flowing down the mountain’s rugged north face to reunite at Allt a’Mhuillin. One flow, making its final descent before arriving like a welcome guest at our distillery.
This fresh mountain water is the life source of our whisky and the very essence of nature. It is finally left to mature slowly but surely, under the watchful eye of Ben Nevis. Only then is it ready to be bottled and savoured.
