LOCH Lomond Distillery Company, part of Sandy Bulloch's drinks empire, has fallen to a £199,000 pre-tax loss even before the introduction of minimum pricing of alcohol which the company has claimed will hit sales of its flagship High Commissioner blended whisky.
The company, which is based in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire, saw turnover rise 0.9% over the year to the end of March 2012 to £18.5 million.
But with costs rising, a £296,000 pre-tax profit for 2011 was turned into a near £200,000 loss.
