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…
I first tasted Royal Lochnagar at the distillery on a tour of Scotland in 1990, and loved it, but have found it difficult to obtain in the states. Since then I have bought it whenever in the UK. A smooth and delicious whisky, and worth the effort.
I love my whiskey!!
My favourite Whisky !
I visited the distillery during a recent tour of Speyside. I was hooked and bought a bottle. Needless to say it was totally consumed shortly after returning home. I've since ordered several more bottles.
The best I have ever had
