This bottling of a 30-year-old Lochside single malt was produced by the independent bottler Acotn Ltd. Japan as part of the Friends of Oak series. The whisky was distilled in 1981 and bottled in 2011 in a run of 60 individually numbered bottles.
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.
