Bottled bySignatory Vintage. Cask numbers 7253-55. One of 800 bottles. 70cl. 43%. In presentation box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistilled at the now-lost Lochside Distillery on 15 December 1966 and bottled by Signatory Vintage in August 1989, this 22-year-old Highland single malt is one of the earliest releases from what would become one of Scotland's most respected independent bottlers. Matured in oak casks #7253-7255 and bottled at 43% ABV, it forms part of Signatory's original Vintage Collection, a series that helped establish the company's reputation for showcasing individual distilleries with full distillation and bottling details long before such transparency became commonplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLochside occupies a unique place in Scotch whisky history. Located in Montrose, the distillery was unusual in being capable of producing both malt and grain whisky, although its single malt has become the most celebrated. Following its closure in 1992 and demolition in 2005, official bottlings became increasingly scarce, leaving independent releases such as this among the few remaining opportunities to experience the distillery's distinctive character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to just 800 bottles this early Signatory release is both a fascinating snapshot of Lochside's elegant spirit and an increasingly collectible bottling from the pioneering years of independent Scotch whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58489909182845,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lochside 1966-1989 - 22 Year Old - Signatory Vintage - Cask 7253-55-Lot Id:0526-323","offer_id":58489909215613,"sku":"0526-323","price":420.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/0526-323-1_319a63a6-3b8c-4f87-a872-5d055bf027b4.jpg?v=1785960400","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/lochside-1966-1989-22-year-old-signatory-vintage-cask-7253-55-lot-id-0526-323","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
