By Scott Wright LOCH Lomond Distillers has lifted turnover by 13 per cent to £61.3 million in a year that spanned several months of the pandemic, declaring that its eponymous single malt has become one of the top five fastest-growing whiskies of its type in the world. But the company, which owns the Glen Scotia Distillery in Campbeltown, High Commissioner blended Scotch and Glen’s vodka, warned that Brexit and the pandemic “have continued to create operational and logistical obstacles”. In accounts newly filed at Companies House, private equity-backed Loch Lomond reported a “significant increase in take-home purchases” during lockdown, which drove demand for its brands in the domestic market in the year ended September 30. The trend has continued since year-end.
