Ликероводочный завод принадлежал MacNab Distilleries Ltd., а в последнее время - дочерней компанией Allied Distillers , дочерней компании бывшей британской группы по напиткам и ресторанным союзникам , которая была куплена Пернодом Ричардом . [ 1 ]
История
[ редактировать ]Ликероводочный завод начал жизнь как пивоварня, а фактические здания были построены в 1781 году. [ 2 ] James Deuchar & Sons Ltd. , пивоварня «Ньюкасл на Тайне» (которая будет сформировать Scottish & Newcastle ), владеет зданием в 19 веке. Пивоварня была закрыта Scottish & Newcastle, прежде чем его быстро приобрели в 1957 году MacNab Distilleries Ltd, из которого Джозеф У. Хоббс, владелец ликеро -водочного завода Бен Невис в Форт -Уильям , был акционером. [ 2 ] Пивоварня была преобразована в ликероводочный завод и последовал за ликеро -водочным заводом Бен Невис, создавая как солодовый, так и зерновый виски. Смешанный виски бренд Sandy Macnab был создан примерно в это время. [3]
Macnab Distilleries Ltd was purchased by Spanish whisky manufacturer Destilerías y Crianza del Whisky S.A. (popularly known as DYC) in 1973.[3] They were in turn purchased by British drinks company Allied Distillers to form Allied Domecq, who were purchased by Pernod Ricard in 2005.[2]
The distillery was closed during 1992 and the site earmarked for redevelopment. The distillery was finally demolished during 2004-2005 and the site has been turned into housing.[1][2][4]
The Sandy Macnab brand name and the Macnab Distilleries Ltd company name are now owned by Pernod Ricard through their Chivas Regal subsidiary, following several takeovers.[2][5]
Production
[edit]Lochside was latterly fitted with a cast iron mash tun and open stainless steel washbacks. Distillation was carried out using 2 wash stills and 2 spirit stills. The distillery was also fitted with grain stills, which, under DYC's tenure, were unused. Spirit was matured in ex-bourbon casks.[1][2]
The majority of the spirit produced at this time was shipped to Spain for use in DYC Spanish whisky, and the remainder used for the firm's Sandy Macnab brand of blended whisky or for bottling as a single malt aged 10 Years.[2][3]
Sandy Macnab was generally an export only brand and was widely available in Southern European markets.[3]
Limited stocks of Lochside Single Malt remain available.[6]
