This bottling of a Lochside single malt was produced by the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail as part of the Connoisseurs’ Choice range. The whisky was distilled in 1991, matured in refill ex-bourbon hogsheads and bottled in 2008.
Lochside was a distillery in Montrose, Angus, Scotland, which existed as a brewery in the early 19th century. From 1957, the business was converted into a distillery by Joseph Hobbs. At first, only grain whisky was produced in a Coffey Still, later also malt whisky. The distillery was closed in 1992 and demolished in 1999 and 2005.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
