This 12 year old was distillery at the Lochnagar distillery, once visited by Queen Victoria when she was staying at nearby Balmoral.
Creamy, aromatic nose with hints of hay, malted barley, oak and mixed peels.
Soft smoke and gingerbread, oodles of toasty spices, Demerara sugar and boiled sweets.
The finish is all about grass and honey.
A sweet, summery dram…

Is this the best whisky in the world? No! Is it far off? No! If it was, it would be 13 years older and 10 degrees stronger.
Bland and boring. Glad I tried it so that I can avoid. In fairness its just another malt that will quickly be forgotten. No second one required.
I love Speyside whiskies and this is as good as they come. And I love flying at the Aboyne Gliding Club next door to the distillery !
One of my few go-to single malts. Always have a bottle on the go. I find it subtle and complex with a lovely lingering aftertaste.
Only had a sample but found it quite uninteresting, nose, palette or finish did nothing for me
