Description
Royal Lochnagar Aged 12 Years Highalnd Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 40% Age: 12 Years Old Country: Scotland
The Royal Lochnagar distillery neighbours the Balmoral Castle, which if you are not aware is home to the Queen when she visits Scotland. The distiller offers incredible tours and is one of the best distilleries to visit to discover how scotch whisky is made. The distillery is the last remaining distillery on Deeside and was built in 1826 by a gentleman called John Begg. The name for the distillery was taken from a mountain nearby made famous by Lord Byron who used to immortalised the peak in a poem, which was then turned into a song. The distillery mainly produces whisky for the use in blends and currently creates 450,000 litres per year. It has grown quite rapidly since being first built going through 4 major renovations.
Expect a sweet, full bodied whisky which is refreshing.
This single malt whisky is rich and full of flavour and has a lingering oak. Royal Lochnagar was Queen Victoria’s favourite distillery.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Malty with vanilla and stewed fruits. There’s plenty of oak which combines well with the linseed oil and sweet toffee.
Palate: This whisky is mouth coating and delivers a light sherry influence well. It shows a bit of sweetness in toffee, a little saltiness and a little bitterness which for the palate is perfect.
Finish: A complex dram which can be an everyday whisky due to the price.
