The Lochside 1965 AD Limited #6778 is a rare and exclusive 52.3% ABV, 700ml whisky bottle, celebrated for its unique blend of Lochside malt and grain, both distilled at the same location and 'married at birth' in 1965. This 'single blend' was produced under the ownership of Mr. Hobbes, known for distilling both malt and grain on the same premises. The whisky was bottled in 2011, after an extraordinary maturation of 46 years, resulting in only 499 bottles available. This exceptional whisky starts with a nose reminiscent of old quality bourbon, featuring notes of varnish, coconut, and banana, which transition to strawberries and raspberries. The palate is distinctive with a strong oak influence, yet remains smooth and rounded, evocative of old rums. Complex flavors include medicinal cough medicine, old Grand-Marnier, lemon, lemongrass, ginger, liquorice, candied chestnuts, and a hint of rancio, akin to old cognac. The finish is long with notes of liqueur-filled chocolates and rancio. The cask, an original Harveys Bodega Spanish shipping butt with a red seal, imparted a fantastic dark rum color and balance, estimated to be a 50-50 malt-grain blend. The European oak has enriched this whisky with an opulent yet elegant character, presenting flavors of red fruits, cherries, damsons, toffee, balsamic vinegar, dried figs, dates, and hazelnut. Noteworthy for its enigmatic profile, the Lochside 1965 AD Limited #6778 is recommended to be enjoyed without dilution.
The Lochside distillery, which closed in 1992, has left behind a legacy of quality whiskies.
