12 Year Old 43% 70cl

Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old

Located in Royal Deeside in the shadow of the picturesque Cairngorms mountains, Royal Lochnagar is just a stone’s throw away from Balmoral Castle. Indeed, it was Queen Victoria and Prince Albert who bestowed a Royal Warrant upon the distillery after visiting in 1848. A perfect dram for those looking for something delicate yet flavoursome; a creamy, grassy, and lightly fruity malt. 

Official Tasting Notes

Nose –  Planed wood, light toffee, boat varnish. Linseed oil behind, even putty, and later a lychee-like acidity. With water, the acidity comes up (acid drops), and the nose sweetens. Still a pleasant fresh woodiness or leatheriness, the varnish now supported by artists turpentine. Warm sand. After a while, coffee dregs with brown sugar. 

Palate – This delicate malt offers fruits, planed wood, and light toffee. The palate is sweet before gaining in acidity.

Finish – Dry; medium-length, with an attractive lingering sandalwood aftertaste. Sharp and well-balanced.
