Loch Lomond Scotch Whisky

Loch Lomond Scotch whisky distillery was converted from a dyeing factory in 1965/6 by the Littlemill Distillery Co Ltd. The distillery is located very close to Loch Lomond. An earlier distillery called Loch Lomond existed 1814-1817 at the other end of the loch.

In 1971 the modern distillery was taken over by Barton Brands (USA).

It was closed in 1984 but reopened again in 1987 by Glen Catrine Bonded Warehouses and has been in production since.

The distillery can produce 8 different single malts by employing four unusual stills with rectifying heads (known as Lomond Stills) and two conventional pot stills with traditional ‘swan necks’.

One of the factors that have a great influence on the character of the spirit produced is the physical length and shape of the still neck.

The longer the neck - the lighter (or cleaner) the spirit.

The shorter the neck - the more full-bodied (or fatter) the spirit.
