Our Loch Lomond Whisky History
The Loch Lomond Distillery holds a fascinating history, as intriguing and rich as the Loch Lomond landscape itself.
The first mention of a distillery by the loch dates to 1814. The closing date of this original Distillery, nestled at the northern tip of Loch Lomond near Tarbet, is sadly now lost to the mists of whisky history, with few paper records remaining.
The current Loch Lomond Distillery owes its creation in 1965 to the former proprietors of Littlemill Distillery, situated in Bowling, merely a few miles towards Glasgow.
The Cooperage
Loch Lomond’s focus on quality is unwavering. The distillery owns its own cooperage, ensuring that barrel repairs and charring are carried out to an exacting standard so every cask is perfect for maturing our Loch Lomond spirit.
What is the cooperage?
Coopering of casks is an age-old skill, the nuances of which have seen little change over the centuries. At Loch Lomond Whisky we’re fortunate to be one of only four distilleries in Scotland to have our own on-site cooperage. Our team of seasoned professionals and eager apprentices carefully manage the quality of all of the casks to ensure that the whisky is maintained to the highest possible standards.
Our expert team examines every new cask that arrives on-site, they carry out repairs and maintenance on oak casks from all over the world. They even rejuvenate casks using our De-char / Re-char (DCRC) process. Each year, our team maintains and repairs over 30,000 casks, which is absolutely vital in creating quality and consistency in our whisky maturation.
