The
Lochside distillery has been founded by the Mac Nab distillers
company on the site of an old brewery (Deuchars & Sons) settled
in the town of Montrose in 1957.
The distillery was producing malt and grain whisky up to the early
1970's. The distillery was sold to the Spanish group Domecq who
immediately stopped the grain whisky production.
The company Allied Lyons bought the distillery in 1994, and it
was mothballed soon after this.
The distillery has been demolished in 2005 and replaced by a garden
cent er.
The locals thought it would have been better to turn it into a museum about the
Distillery`s history...

The nose reveals green apple and cut grass hints, and the palate does not deny the first impression.
This unexpected whisky is very good.
Probably this bottle suffered from aeration. The impression is quite different from last time (well this was a few years ago)

What a nice spring and bucolic fragrance. Fresh cut grass and a bunch of flowers. A rare freshness and a nice balance completed by a very discrete peppery note. |
