Lochside Distillery
Lochside distillery began life as a brewery in 1786. It was bought by Joseph Hobbs in 1957 and a Coffey still was installed. The distillery remained in the Hobbs family until 1973 when it was purchased by a Spanish distilling company named DYC. In the earlys 1990s DYC was purchased by Allied Distillers. The new owners decided that Lochside was surplus to requirements and sold the distillery to developers. The developers then demolished the distillery in 2005. The demolition of Lochside is a sore subject for locals who remember Lochside’s eye-catching white tower looming over the Montrose landscape.
Gordon & MacPhail
Gordon & Macphail are one of the oldest whisky bottlers to exist in the world. Bottling over 350 expressions from over 70 distilleries, as well as bottling whisky for numerous large distilleries in Scotland for decades. Bottling whisky for 115 years and now proud owners of the Benromach distillery since 1993. They did nearly purchase Strathisla Distillery from Seagram’s in the 1950’s, but Seagram’s wanted £71,000, whereas Gordon & Macphail only offered £70,000. Imagine.
Connoisseurs Choice
Arguably Gordon & Macphail’s most famous series, the Connoisseurs Choice range showcases a variety of single malts from every region in Scotland. The range was launched in the mid-1960s and remains a by-word for high quality single malts from distilleries such as Macallan, Ardbeg, and Port Ellen.
