While the distillery itself is dedicated to gin production, the wider site showcases the full breadth of the Loch Lomond Group’s expertise across whisky and gin. The distillery also features an immersive and interactive whisky and gin discovery centre, which is free for visitors to explore, along with a range of bookable whisky and gin tasting experiences designed to educate and inspire.
The retail area presents the company’s wider portfolio, including Glen Scotia, Littlemill, Champagne Piaff, and a curated selection of premium spirits, making Luss Distillery a must-visit destination for whisky, gin, and golf enthusiasts alike. Conveniently located within easy reach of several of Scotland’s most prestigious golf courses - including Royal Troon, Prestwick, The Carrick at Cameron House, and Dundonald Links - it’s the perfect stop for visitors looking to combine a world-class golf experience with a memorable distillery visit.
The details
Colin Matthews, Founder and CEO of Loch Lomond Group, said: “The opening of our new state-of-the-art Luss Distillery marks a major milestone for Loch Lomond Group. This investment reflects our commitment to innovation, quality, and growth in Scotland’s spirits industry, while also creating new jobs and supporting the local community. Luss Distillery is our new brand home - a destination where visitors can step behind the scenes, see how our whiskies and gin are crafted with passion, and experience the landscapes that inspire them.”
The new Luss Distillery, a multi-million-pound project by Loch Lomond Group, has repurposed the former Luss Smokehouse. The 5,362 sq.m site has been transformed into a vibrant destination for whisky and gin connoisseurs, and curious spirits newcomers alike. With four distinctive buildings – a retail space, an immersive whisky and gin discovery centre, the dedicated Ben Lomond Gin distillery and a licensed on-site cafe operated by the locally renowned Scoff & Patter team – a cohesive visitor experience has been created that merges production, education, entertainment, and hospitality in one integrated setting.
As The Official Sponsors of The Open Championship, Loch Lomond Whiskies and Ben Lomond Gin continues to champion the shared heritage between Scotland’s distilling excellence and golf’s enduring tradition - inviting golfers and gin lovers alike to raise a glass to the spirit of the game.
