Loch Lomond Distillery

Loch Lomond Distillery stands apart in the crowded Highland landscape not merely for its location beneath the towering Ben Lomond Mountain, but for its unusual breadth of production. Where most Scottish distilleries focus on a single style, Loch Lomond produces single malt, single grain, and blended malt whiskies under one roof in Alexandria, Highland.

History & Heritage

While the exact founding date remains unclear, Loch Lomond Distillery has established itself as an independent operation in the heart of Highland Scotland. The distillery takes its name and inspiration from the dramatic landscape surrounding it, with Ben Lomond Mountain creating a natural backdrop for whisky production. The operation has grown into a family of brands that extends beyond Scotland to include holdings like New York Distilling Company.

The Whiskey

Loch Lomond's approach centers on versatility. The distillery produces single malts across age ranges, including their 12 and 18-year expressions, alongside distinctive offerings like their Victoriana and Double Cask bottlings. Their production capabilities span multiple whisky categories, allowing them to create everything from Highland single malts to blended expressions. The range extends beyond whisky to include Ben Lomond Gin and other spirits, reflecting their position as both distiller and blender.

Why It Matters

The San Francisco World Spirits Competition named Loch Lomond "The Most Awarded Distillery" in 2023, recognition that speaks to consistent quality across their diverse portfolio. For those who appreciate good whiskey, Loch Lomond represents Highland whisky without the constraints of tradition, proving that innovation and quality can coexist in Scottish whisky production. Their expressions earn a place in The Sentinel Room's Reserve Whiskey Library as examples of modern Highland distilling at its most ambitious.
