Lochside 1981 19 Year Old, Murray McDavid
Please note that there is no carton included
A sad story. The distillery, established in 1957, is situated in the old trading port of Montrose, south of Aberdeen on Scotland's bleak east coast. Its spirit is lamentably unknown. McNab sold it to a Spanish company which, to their horror, was ultimately bought out by their friends - Allied; Lochside was then promptly turned into a block of executive flats. Yet this a coastal malt with tremendous quality, with the briny, seaside flavours and complexity shared with the other great malts aged in close proximity to the sea. This distillery deserved much, much greater recognition, sadly we are too late. Enjoy it while you can. It is a true star; the Springbank of the east.
