About Killyloch (silent)
(KILL-ee-lock) Killyloch is one of the rarest names in Lowland single malt Scotch whisky, produced within the Moffat distilling complex in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire. Built by Inver House Distillers in the mid-1960s, the site also housed the Garnheath grain distillery and the better-known Glen Flagler malt stills, making Killyloch part of an unusual period when malt and grain whisky production were brought together within large industrial distilling sites.
Killyloch was never developed as a mainstream single malt brand and was produced mainly for blending, with distillation ending in the early 1970s. As a result, official and independent bottlings are extremely scarce, making surviving bottles of Killyloch highly collectible. For drinkers and collectors interested in lost Lowland distilleries, Killyloch offers a fascinating glimpse into a short-lived chapter of Scotch whisky history.
