The Loch Lomond Group is an independent distiller and blender of some of the finest and rarest Scotch Whiskies in the world. Loch Lomond has a deep and rich history in whisky, in fact the first site of the former Loch Lomond Distillery dates all the way back to 1814. Loch Lomond Whiskies are now distilled just south of the original site, on the picturesque banks of Loch Lomond. To keep the Loch Lomond spirit so special, Loch Lomond is one of only four distilleries in Scotland that has their own cooperage on site. This ensures that each and every cask is perfect. Loch Lomond Distillery carry a long tradition of raising the next generation of coopers by training their apprentice coopers on site. The secret to the delicious tastes of Loch Lomond Whiskies are explained by Master Blender Michael Henry who says that “We understand the distilling process so intrinsically we can vary this to achieve the exact flavour we want before the whisky enters the cask. As we are in control of the process at every stage, we have a real opportunity to shape the whisky.” Learn more about the spectacular bottles below.
