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 find RL to be mildly sweet with an ease on the throat and oesophagus. No burn, just smooth descent after a lovely bouquet and a sweet appeal to the taste buds.
I've drank many whiskeys recently and I've found this to be the best I've ever tasted, including some several times the price.
I have been drinking this for many years and find it such a good taste you can keep the rest I will buy the best have visited the distillery on several occasions well worth a visit if you are on holiday.
I was in one of those fashionable places with a couple of hundred whiskies to choose from. This one was recommended by another bloke looking bemused at the choice. Never spoke to him again, but remembered the whisky!
totally random choice for me but it certainly was very easy to drink tasted to me quite like glenmorangie did many years ago. very smooth and slight sweetness but not to much. Nice evening treat especially with a little cold mineral water and a couple of ice cubes.
