The Loch Lomond Distillery holds a fascinating history, as intriguing and rich as the Loch Lomond landscape itself.
The first mention of a distillery by the loch dates to 1814. The closing date of this original Distillery, nestled at the northern tip of Loch Lomond near Tarbet, is sadly now lost to the mists of whisky history, with few paper records remaining.
The current Loch Lomond Distillery owes its creation in 1965 to the former proprietors of Littlemill Distillery, situated in Bowling, merely a few miles towards Glasgow.

Our story has roots tracing back to 1772 with the establishment of the Littlemill Distillery, a pivotal landmark in Scotch whisky history as the oldest licensed distillery in the nation.
In this year, the original Loch Lomond Distillery took shape near Tarbet, resting towards the north-western end of the iconic Loch Lomond.
A new chapter was penned as the Littlemill Distilling Company opened the Distillery on its current site. The Distillery initially had only Straight Neck Pot Stills based on the designs developed at Littlemill earlier in the 1960s.
The distillery embarked on a new journey under the stewardship of the Bulloch family, who purchased it.
A testament to Loch Lomond’s commitment to innovation and quality, a second pair of Straight Neck Stills were installed in the distillery. This enhanced and scaled up distillation.
The Distillery saw the installation of a grain distillery, a pivotal addition that opened up new avenues for our whisky production. We are the only distillery in Scotland to have malt and grain production.
Embracing tradition whilst furthering the flavour creation journey, we supplemented our distilling operations with the addition of Traditional swan neck Pot Stills.
Our Continuous Stills began utilising malted barley.
Take over by the Loch Lomond Group with significant investment in the distillery including the addition of more washbacks allowing for increased capacity whilst retaining the crucial long fermentation.
A third pair of Straight Neck Stills graced our distillery. This bolstered our capacity to produce the exceptional Loch Lomond Whisky that we're renowned for. This brings our current malt capacity to 5 million litres per year.
Today, Loch Lomond Distillery is ascending to new heights. We take immense pride in our award-winning range of whiskies, our innovative distillery operations, and the dedicated team of experts who make it all possible. As custodians of a rich and vibrant legacy, we look forward to carving out an exciting future for our Scotch whisky, steeped in tradition and powered by innovation.
