Scotland’s Most Adept and Capable Distillery
Unlike many distilleries, who take a particular view of the style of whisky they produce, we have a unique, remarkable distilling ability unlike any other in Scotch.
Loch Lomond Whiskies distill using 2 styles of malt still. The Straight Neck Pot Still and a more traditional Swan Neck Pot Still, more commonly used in malt whisky production.
By using two types of still, different cut points, peated and unpeated malted barley, we are able to distill eight different single malt styles, providing an uniquely wide range of taste profiles for a single malt distillery.
Our distillation techniques across all of our stills allow us to maintain the underlying fruity character developed during our 92 hour, extra long fermentation process; ensuring all single malts across the Loch Lomond ranges carry the underlying fruity distillery character.
Loch Lomond Whiskies use a combination of 90% wheat and 10% malted barley. With a capacity of twenty million litres per year.
Using out own malt and grain, all Loch Lomond branded blends are made fully in house at Loch Lomond Distillery.
In a typical year, around 30,000 barrels require major repairs to replace some wooden staves and barrel ends.
These 30,000 then need to be re-charred in order to bring back the character of the wood before being refilled with new-fill whisky.
Innovation has always been at the heart of the Loch Lomond Distillery, and we were one of the first distilleries to introduce a re-char machine.

Creating the Loch Lomond Signature Style
The Loch Lomond distillery has a history that goes back to at least 1772, with the founding of Littlemill distillery – Scotland’s Oldest Licensed distillery.
In 1814, the original site of the Loch Lomond distillery was established near Tarbet towards the north-west end of Loch Lomond.
The area has been at the heart of the whisky industry for centuries. Although, sadly at least nine distilleries around the Loch have been lost over the years, leaving Loch Lomond Distillers to maintain a proud local tradition into the 21st century.
The Bulloch family went on to purchase the distillery in 1985 after a period of silence.

Littlemill’s Pioneering Owner
Duncan Thomas
One of the forgotten innovators of Scotch whisky. He stopped triple distillation and installed new hybrid stills with pot still bodies and rectifying heads, allowing a number of different characters to be produced.
Loch Lomond Distillery was born from the expansion of the Littlemill Distilling Company.
