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.

In 1966, 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.

in 1994 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. And in 1998 Embracing tradition whilst furthering the flavour creation journey, we supplemented our distilling operations with the addition of Traditional swan neck Pot Stills.

In 2014, the 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 the distillery in 2017. 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.
