- Description
- Lochside operated as a combined grain and malt distillery from 1957 until its closure in 1992, making this 1966 vintage bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1980s a rare window into a lost Highland producer. Official releases were scarce, so independent bottlings command serious collector interest. Without access to specific tasting notes, this 40% abv expression offers the opportunity to experience a distillery now lost to time.
