In September 1848, Queen Victoria made her first visit to the Lochnagar distillery, awarding it with its royal warrant! This limited edition single malt commemorates that momentous occasion, with a characterful combination of spirit matured in refill and bodega sherry casks. A total of 3,000 bottles were released in 2018.
Nose : Coffee grounds, toasted brown sugar, dried fruit, sawdust, and baking spice.
Palate : Treacley notes of toffee and coffee, baked apples, and drying sherry. A touch of cedar joins, bringing warming spice.
Finish : Silky to the end, with chocolate, candied nuts, and raisins.
About Royal Lochnagar
Royal Lochnagar is a small Highland single malt Scotch Whisky distillery located near Balmoral Castle, which received its royal warrant from Queen Victoria in 1848. Founded in 1845 by John Begg, the distillery is still in use today, known for its traditional methods like an open mash tun and crystal-clear water from the Scarnock springs. The distillery is Diageo's smallest, and its spirit is a key component in high-end blends like Johnnie Walker, although single malts, primarily a 12-year-old, are available.
