Lochside was a brewery from 1786 until it was converted into a distillery in 1957 by Macnab Distilleries. The brewery incorporated a white tower – a classic German Brauhaus design. Charles Doig reinterpreted that feature when he designed the distillery in 1899.

 

The distillery initially had a Coffey still. In 1961 four pot stills were added. The Coffey still was eventually decommissioned. The distillery operated the pot stills until 1991. It was mothballed in 1994 and sold to property developers before demolishing in 2005.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich Sherry aromas complement fragrant mandarin peel. Salted almonds come to the fore with raspberry compote and faint malted biscuit.

Taste: Roasted coffee beans lead to walnuts and stewed raisins. Blackcurrant jam accompanies Seville orange peel and red apple.

Finish: A long finish with lingering hazelnuts and cocoa powder.
