Lochnagar
Scotland
Single Malt
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…
Got a bottle as a Christmas present, it's ok, for the price point. I wouldnt buy another, and it wont be hammered through in short order like others might but it will be happily consumed. Can get better / more distinctive malts at this price in my humble opinion but to each their own! Never understand people who compare malts to blended whiskies. Blends, and in particular the likes of "find a hill, put one foot in front of the other" (not to advertise), are designed to be very drinkable, mass produced, and sold to the masses that usually dont know any better. There isn't anything wrong with "blends" as a whole, just the bad ones! Malts are more expressionate of the distillery, the area they come from, their recipe and the distiller, this has done an ok job of that. Nothing fancy. Drinkable. Some people will like it, probably most wont. But you get bad malts too (again, just an opinion!)
Can't understand the 2 reviews below; it's an excellent dram at this price point.
Tasted better blended whiskies. I love malts but this one does nothing for me.
I tried bottle #2 in 1998. Wasn't the least bit impressed! Fell way short of my expectations. That's why I won't be buying this anymore. Sorry for the disappointment.
Still very decent for it's price, this whisky suffers from a noticeable concentration of (color) additive in it's taste. If only Lochnagar would omit it ...
