Lost Loch Spirits Ltd.

About the distillery

Lost Loch Spirits is located in Dess near Aboyne, and is a small spirits venue with both a distillery, tastings, micro-tours, and a Spirits School. Here, you can meet the team, taste the spirits, and see distilling up close, while the business also works with contract production for new brands and entrepreneurs. It’s a place where the visitor experience and the craft itself are thought together.

History

Established as a spirits venue with experiences and contract production

Lost Loch Spirits comes across as a place that brings distilling, tastings, and education under the same roof. The company describes both its own products and work as a contract distiller for new brands, and it has built a visitor format with micro-tours, tastings, and a Spirits School on site.

Ingredients and production

Lost Loch Spirits describes itself as a place that works with both its own products and contract production. They place particular emphasis on collaborating with start-up brands, innovators, and entrepreneurs, whom they help through the development of a spirits brand. One specific raw material mentioned is Deeside Mineral Water, which is used as an ingredient in Murmichan absinthe. The water comes from an old spring in a protected area in the Cairngorms National Park, and the material highlights its special natural chemistry and long filtration through the underground. In addition, you get the impression that the place opens up production to visitors, who can try distilling for themselves during the experiences. More technically detailed information about malting, mashing, fermentation, stills, and the distillation setup is not described in the provided texts.

Whiskies

The current range mentioned on the site includes eeNoo Gin, Murmichan, and Haroosh. So it’s a small, named selection rather than a long whisky series, and since the place also gathers its activities around experiences and contract production, for whisky lovers it points to a producer where the focus in the provided texts is clearer on spirits broadly rather than on a documented core whisky range. Therefore, the whisky profile of the range cannot be explored further based on the available pages.

Philosophy and craft

The company’s short core message is: The Place. The Process. The Spirits. It fits well with the way Lost Loch works, where the place, the process, and the finished spirits are tied together with a clear focus on collaboration. They highlight themselves that they specialize in working with start-up brands, innovators, and entrepreneurs, and that they want to be a partner in the early part of the journey. At the same time, they invite guests to experience the process directly by visiting the site and trying distilling for themselves.
