The Lochside distillery was a distillery in Montrose, Angus that produced single malt scotch whisky and grain whisky. The distillery was owned by ''Macnab Distilleries Ltd.'' and latterly, by ''Allied Distillers'', a subsidiary of the former British drinks and restaurant group Allied Domecq. ==History== The distillery started life as a brewery and the actual buildings were built in 1781.〔 〕 ''James Deuchar & Sons Ltd.'', a Newcastle upon Tyne based brewery (which would go on to form Scottish & Newcastle) owned the building during the 19th Century. The brewery was closed by Scottish & Newcastle before being quickly purchased in 1957 by ''Macnab Distilleries Ltd'' of which Joseph W. Hobbs, the proprietor of the Ben Nevis Distillery in Fort William, was a shareholder.〔 The brewery was converted to a distillery and followed the Ben Nevis Distillery in producing both malt and grain whisky. The blended whisky brand ''Sandy Macnab'', was created around this time. ''Macnab Distilleries Ltd'' was purchased by Spanish whisky manufacturer Destilerías y Crianza del Whisky S.A. (popularly known as DYC) in 1973.〔 They were in turn purchased by British drinks company Allied Distillers to form Allied Domecq, who were purchased by Pernod Ricard in 2005.〔 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.〔〔 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.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Macnab Distilleries Limited )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lochside distillery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
