There are two main companies:
Glen
Catrine Bonded Warehouse Ltd. (established 1974), is now the largest
independent bottling plant in Scotland, but was originally created to bottle
whisky for the chain of retail shops. Its current annual production is in excess
of 36.5 million bottles of whisky, vodka, gin, rum and brandy.
Amongst a multitude of brands, we produce the 5th highest selling whisky in the UK (High Commissioner Scotch Whisky) and the 2nd highest selling vodka in the UK (Glen's Vodka).
We also bottle Whisky, Rum, Brandy, Gin & Vodka for many of the leading "private" labels available in a variety of multiple retail outlets. Being a privately owned family company, we seek to enter long-term relationships with our customers.
Loch
Lomond Distillery (established circa 1814) is a unique blend of the old
and the new. Originally purchased in 1985 to ensure an adequate supply of malt
whisky for the bottling plant, we have since invested in excess of £15.5
million in new Malt & Grain stills and new warehouses.
It is currently the only distillery in Scotland that produces both grain and malt whisky on the same site. The average annual production is 10 million litres of grain alcohol and 2.5 million litres of malt alcohol, the equivalent of 43 million standard bottles of whisky every year.
Our average stockholding is in excess of 50 million litres of Scotch whisky, making us the second largest family owned Distillery in Scotland. Another distillery that we own, Glen Scotia, resumed production in 1999. Glen Scotia is one of only two Campbeltown Distilleries that remain in production.
