Loch Lomond Distillery

Since 1814 Loch Lomond Distillery has been crafting the finest Single Malt Whiskies which are every bit as delicious as the landscape is stunning.

Craft and style are intrinsically linked. The sweep of the artists touch, the care of woodcarvers hand, the tuning of an instrument to evoke the perfect note. For Loch Lomond Whiskies, whisky is no different. They have shaped their distilling style to be as identifiable as the work of any craftsmen or composer.

Through the distilling choice they make, their expressions always deliver fruit, sweet honey and soft smoke. It's their style, its timeless and distinctive and keeps them true to their origins.
