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…
Delightful, smooth. Sweet, spicy - a very well mannered whisky, a dram to share with both experienced and inexperienced whisky drinkers. Alternatively, because I really enjoy it, I might just keep it all to myself...
Nose: Fruity, citrus and a touch of peat. Sweet, peppery and oak-spice. Citrus and peat on the finish. I guess it's ok for the price, but I'd rather go for a Glencadam 10yo or a Craigellachie 13yo. Do not agree with the high average user rating here.
A great gold bunting of steel
Smooth, clean good as any I've had. Better than most. And the price is great.
It is a smooth tipple the only malt I will drink
