Lochside distillery was originally built as a brewery. It was bought and the distilling equipment installed (four pot stills), this could be adapted for both grain and malt whisky production with the outcome suitable for blends. In 1973 the Spanish company DYC bought the distillery, they closed the grains plant but continued production with the pot stills until 1992 when the distillery closed and the stocks removed.
