Lochside 1991 Connoisseurs Choice is a rare and highly collectible Highland single malt Scotch whisky from the now closed Lochside Distillery, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for their iconic Connoisseurs Choice series. Distilled in 1991 and matured in refill bourbon barrels, this elegant expression was bottled in 2008 at 43% ABV, showcasing the delicate and refined character of this lost distillery.

Lochside is one of Scotland’s silent distilleries, making remaining stocks increasingly scarce and sought after. Refill bourbon maturation allows the spirit to shine, revealing a lighter, fruit-forward profile with subtle oak influence developed over years of patient ageing.

The Distillery

Lochside
Lochside Distillery, founded in 1957 near the Montrose Basin in Scotland’s prestigious Highland whisky region, operated within former brewery buildings. Equipped with four pot stills and a Coffey still, Lochside produced both malt and grain whisky intermittently until 1970. The distillery ceased operations in 1992, was dismantled by 1996, and demolished in 2005, now replaced by modern flats. Primarily contributing to renowned Scotch blends, Lochside’s rare single malt Scotch is sought after through independent bottlers such as Hunter Laing’s Sovereign and G&M’s Rare Old, making it a treasured name among whisky enthusiasts.
