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 haven't found Royal Lochnagar in the states so I bought some and had it shipped to me. Smoothest first impression I have had in a Scotch. Better than JW Blue.
one of my favourite scotch whisky. Everyone must have it in their home whisky-bar. But 30 pounds=1200 rubles, price in the shops - 2900 rubles... What can i say more...
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.
