About the Producer Lochside

The Lochside distillery was founded in 1957 by the controversial Joseph Hobbs (also the owner of the Ben Nevis distillery, to which Lochside owed its operating model) and closed in 1992. It was mainly used to produce the blended whisky Sandy Macnab’‘s. Producing both grain and malt whisky on site, it was also one of very few distilleries in Scotland to produce single blended whiskies.
