There are two main companies:
Glen Catrine Bonded Warehouse Ltd. (established 1974), is now possibly 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, Loch Lomond produces the 5th highest selling whisky in the UK (High Commissioner Scotch Whisky) and the 2nd highest selling vodka in the UK (Glen's Vodka).
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, Loch Lomond has 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 18 million litres of grain alcohol and 4 million litres of malt alcohol, the equivalent of 78 million standard bottles of whisky every year.
