LOCH LOMOND SCOTCH WHISKIES

The Inspiration For The Loch

LOMOND DISTILLERY COMES FROM THE PHYSICAL BEAUTY OF THE HIGHLAND REGION IN WHICH IT IS SITED. THE MAGNIFICENT BEN LOMOND MOUNTAIN

TOWERS ABOVE THE LOCH AND LOOKS DOWN ON THE DISTILLERY.

Its history is steeped in the 7 Celtic Clans that touched Loch Lomond, including the clans of Colquhoun, McFarlane, Galbraith, MacAulay, Menzies, and Buchanan.

Loch Lomond Distillery opened in 1964, with production beginning the following year. In 1984, the distillery closed - or fell silent, to use the traditional term. Happily, though, Alexander Bulloch and the Glen Catrine company acquired the business and resumed malt production in 1987. Grain whisky production began in 1994, with two new malt stills added in 1999 and a further two in 2015.

At the time the grain distillery opened in 1994, it was the only distillery in Scotland producing both grain and malt whisky. It also operates a unique set-up of four sets of stills producing many different malt styles as well as our Single Grain, made exclusively with malted barley. Our distillery has produced many different brands and bottlings over the years, each with their own character and charm.
