Loch Lomond Group
At Loch Lomond Group, we produce some of the finest Scotch Whisky in the world. But not only are we proud whisky producers, we also pride ourselves on our market leading vodka & gin, with our portfolio of spirits present in over 100 markets across the globe. As well as several high quality blends, amongst our whisky portfolio sits Loch Lomond Single Malt - distilled & matured on the 'Bonnie Bonnie banks of Loch Lomond' - a location so famous for its natural beauty, that even those who've yet to enjoy our whisky already have our name on their lips... Further to this, we produce Glen Scotia – a fine Campbeltown Malt from the Victorian 'Whisky Capital of the World'. Only two distilleries have maintained production from the heady days of Campbeltown whisky of the 1830’s until this day, one of which is Glen Scotia. It's this fact that makes us proud to be a Campbeltown Whisky. Littlemill is a particularly special whisky. Rumoured to be the oldest in the world, the Littlemill Distillery sadly exists no more – it fell silent in 1994 then was destroyed by a fire in 2004 – never to produce a drop again. Happily, the spirit lives on in our highly sought-after Littlemill bottlings. Down to the last precious drops, a sip of this fine whisky is more than just a memorable pleasure, it is a unique & historic experience. The people at Loch Lomond Group are, of course, integral to ensuring the company is a success. Together we possess a wealth of collective knowledge & a lifetime of shared experiences, stemming from several differing disciplines. But ultimately, we all have one goal – to consistently create & produce incredible Scottish spirits.
