If you had journeyed to Montrose up until 2005 you would have seen Lochside distillery. In fact, you might even have stopped your car just to gawp at the white tower which sat above the town. It was unlike any distillery built before, or since. The tower had nothing to do with whisky, but students of brewery architecture will recognise it as a classic German brauhaus. Lochside indeed was a brewery from 1786 until its closure in 1957. The site was then bought by Joseph Hobbs who by then was the owner of Ben Nevis.
The distillery ran until the early 1990s when its parent company was taken over by Allied Distillers, who subsequently found Lochside to be surplus to requirements. It was closed and sold to developers who, sadly, didn’t have the wit to retain the landmark tower in their designs and in 2005 it was demolished.
This independent bottling by G&M is from Lochside’s final year of distillation in 1991. Bottled in 2005 at a perfectly drinkable 43% abv
