A former Highland distillery that was constructed by Joseph Hobbs in 1957 within the structure of a former brewery, first opened in 1786. Only operational until 1992, it mostly produced malt whisky for blending although a Lochside brand was briefly marketed. It also produced grain whisky in its early years. This 37 Year Old expression was distilled in 1981 and bottled in 2019 by The Auld Alliance.

Maltiply Tasting Profile

Nose: Struck matches, gas and black truffles upfront, followed by a broth made out of stewed cabbage, pink grapefruits and maracuja.
Palate: Grapefruits, hops (IPA), pink pepper, plain and pure grapefruit juice. Sherry imparts a few raisiny notes and white grapes.
Finish: Medium, fresh, with a little coffee and walnuts in the aftertaste, with sherry having the last word.

I like the contrast in the notes: grapefruit and IPA-like hops on the palate, followed by raisiny sherry and a coffee-and-walnut aftertaste. The 48.6% ABV gives a clear strength reference without needing to be the whole story.
