Lochside

Lochside Distillery was established in brewery buildings close to the Montrose Basin in Scotland’s Highland whisky region in 1957. Lochside Distillery was originally equipped with four pot stills and a Coffey still and produced both malt and grain whisky intermittently until 1970. Whisky production ceased at Lochside in 1992, the works were dismantled in 1996 and by 2005 the building had been demolished. The site is now occupied by blocks of modern flats. Most of Lochside’s whisky went into blend of scotch which was bottled on site and during the 1970s a large volume was shipped to Spain, very little was released as single malt. Lochside Distillery is a lost Scottish whisky distillery.
