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…
color: golden amber nose: herbal with a touch of honey palate: honey and heather, medium weight, licorice and raisins. finish: medium length, lots of barley and a touch of vanilla on the finish, A nice 12 y/o malt. I've never seen this in the US so I bought a bottle on a recent trip to the UK. I am happy that I did.
I'm new to the world of malt whisky, but after reading the reviews on here, I decided to give this one a go and wasn't disappointed. Sweet and very smooth, it's a beautiful mouthful.
Never heard of it till few months back. My brother in law gifted it to me. Opened it recently must say quite smooth. medium body appreciated it . Will definitely buy
A review of whiskies I'd read from 2005 firstly pointed me in the direction of a whisky I didn't like...the review also highlighted the Lochnagar as a good 'un. So when I tried the Lochnagar I was a bit wary....no need to be. This is an excellent drink; the reviewers got this spot on.
I am usually an Islay drinker, but my wifes new boss brought a bottle over from Aberdeen and I may have to change! Smoothest single malt I have ever had! Definetly a must try for anyone still looking for "their" label.
