What's in a name? Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old whiskey, rather than whisky.
First tasted on a trip to Oban distillery and wondered how I'd avoided it so long. It has what I'd describe as an old-fashioned taste, slightly sweet/smoky with a medium flavour. Three friends all tried it at the Newcastle Whisky festival and they all liked it. One has bought a botlle since.
