Lochside 1965 Bottled 1980s - Connoisseurs Choice 5cl

A miniature bottle of Lochside Highland single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 1965 and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail as part of the Connoisseurs Choice series. We estimate this was bottled in the 1980s.

Please note, there is no size stated on the label, but this appears to be a 5cl bottle.

Lochside was founded as a brewery in 1781 and in 1957 it was converted to a distillery producing grain and malt whisky. After several changes of ownership, it was mothballed in 1992 and demolished in 2005.

This lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.
