The Lost Distillery Lossit Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Founded in 1817, Lossit was the biggest producer of whisky on Islay in the industry’s formative years and lasted for half a century until it was silenced in 1867. The longest surviving and most successful of Islay’s farm-distilleries, Lossit was part of the transformation of Islay’s reputation from an outpost of smugglers to a leading force in the whisky industry. It was acquired in 1867 by Bulloch Lade & Co., the Glasgow-based distillery and blender which had also picked up Caol Ila in 1863. However, it appears Bulloch Lade never really operated the distillery at all, merely purchasing the business for its stocks which may have been a component of its Bulloch Lade blend.
