Whisky Lochside: A forgotten gem of Scottish whisky history
The Lochside distillery in Montrose, Scotland, was in operation from 1957 to 1992 and produced some of the most remarkable single malts and blends of its time. Although the distillery no longer exists, its whiskies are still highly regarded by collectors and connoisseurs. Lochside was unusual in that it used both malted barley and unmalted barley (similar to Irish pot still production), which gave its whiskies a special character.
Lochside whiskies are known for their complex, often sherried flavours with notes of dark fruits, nuts, spices and a light smoky note. Many bottlings matured in sherry casks, which gave them a deep, velvety texture and a long finish. The single cask bottlings from independent bottlers such as Gordon & MacPhail or Signatory, which preserve Lochside's heritage, are particularly sought-after today.
Despite its closure, the Lochside legend lives on. Its whiskies are an insider tip for lovers of old, classic single malts with a rich flavour profile. Anyone who gets hold of a bottle of Lochside holds a piece of Scottish whisky history in their hands - a real collector's item with an unmistakable character.
