Highland Trio Launch New Loch Ness Water Brand

A Highland business trio have unveiled a new monster product using water extracted from the most famous loch in the world.

Inverness businessman John Oag has officially launched the new premium bottled water, Loch Ness Water, with fellow directors Dawn Younie and Imtaiz Ali.

The trio have also had support in the creation of the exclusive Loch Ness Water branding from local businessman Mark Alison, MD of Red Revolution.

Following three years of scientific research and development the business trio are extracting water straight from the home of the Loch Ness monster, to be sold as bottled drinking water.

The trio have also set up their own custom-built bottling plant in premises in Avoch, 12 miles from Inverness.

Loch Ness Water is currently producing the equivalent of 5000 bottles of water aweek, but it is estimated that will double in the near future due to the already unprecedented demand.

John Oag, managing director of Loch Ness Water, said: “The global phenomenon of Loch Ness and the Loch Ness monster is undeniable, and now people can have a chance to buy drinking water, that contains a piece of the mystery that is Loch Ness.

“This business is a passion and has taken a significant monetary investment and ahuge amount of time to get off the ground. We have carefully researched every aspect of our product, from investing in the best filtration systems on themarket, to choosing the correct size and style of bottles to sell.

“It’s the first time this has ever been done, and quite frankly I’m overwhelmed by the interest shown in the product to date. We have created a premium-bottled water that encapsulates part of the very jewel of the Highlands itself.”

To meet strict regulations, for every batch of water taken from the loch, samples are sent for microbiological and chemical testing, before the product can be legally sold in the UK and internationally as a product suitable for human consumption.
