The wine

A Lochside 22 year old small batch (#7253-55) distilled in 1966 and bottled in 1989 by Signatory Vintage. Signatory Vintage was founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington, who previously worked at Prestonfield House, Edinburgh, where he would select casks specially for the hotel. In 2002, he bought the Edradour distillery in Pitlochry, in the Highlands of Scotland and moved Signatory Vintage vintage to the site, including the warehouses opposite the distillery. A limited edition of 800 bottles.

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.
