Loch Lomond began life in 1966 and has grown to become one of Scotland’s largest and most unusual independent distilleries. Loch Lomond has always been deeply experimental, and after various additions and expansions now boasts a set of 11 stills, including two traditional pot stills, six straight neck Lomond stills and a trio of continuous stills. The distillery produces both grain whisky and diverse single malt styles ranging from light and floral to rich, heavily peated spirits.
Loch Lomond has recently simplified its range, with the company’s malt whiskies streamlined to the Lomond-distilled spirits Inchmurrin (fruity and sweet) and Inchmoan (smoky and spicy), plus a new standard-issue Loch Lomond single malt combining these two styles with a third whisky made on the distillery’s traditional pot stills. Loch Lomond also makes a Coffey-distilled malt whisky, which SWA regulations insist must be marketed as Single Grain whisky.
North Star Spirits is an independent whisky bottling company founded in Glasgow in 2016 by AD Rattray alumnus Iain Croucher. North Star quickly established itself as one of the most popular of the recent wave of Scottish independent whisky bottlers thanks to a prolific series of top class whiskies released in eye-catching packaging at sensible prices. North Star Spirits was named Independent Bottler of the Year at the Scottish Whisky Awards in 2020 and 2021.
Besides their excellent single cask and small batch single malt releases, which are bottled without colouring or chill filtration and are usually at cask strength, North Star have also released several outstanding blended malt and blended Scotch whiskies alongside occasional bottlings of rum, gin, bourbon and Pedro Ximenez fortified wine.
