Went to Feathers for this dram. Because… I’ve been told I’m behind.

Lochside distillery killed my grandfather. Thus why I never have reviewed them, and it’s a horrible pain my family deals with every day.

Wait, no, that’s silly. Or at least macabre. I just haven’t had a chance to try any Lochside distillery before, as it lasted a very short amount of time. They started in 1957, and then were closed in 1992, with the warehouse closed in 1997. Heck, just as permission came in to destroy the last of the buildings, they burned down.

As noted by others, Lochside even had two types of whiskies: Up until 1973 they had a Coffey still, and after that just a single malt.

That said, for awhile there, Murray McDavid called Lochside the “Springbank of the East”.

If it feels like I’m reaching here, it’s because I am. Lochside just doesn’t…
