Subcribe to back in stock notification
Shortly after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert took up residence at Balmoral castle, John Begg, owner of the new Lochnagar distillery, sent an invitation for the regal couple to visit the distillery. Both were fervent malt whisky drinkers and Prince Albert also had an interest in technology and industry and the couple arrived the next day. Shortly after, Lochnagar supplied the Queen with whisky and as such was awarded a Royal Warrant in 1848.
Today, the Royal Lochnagar distillery is under the watchful eye of Diageo, following Dewar’s amalgamation with Distillers Company Limited in 1925, and the subsequent creation of the drinks giant. The distillery is decidedly small; the total capacity being at less than half a million litres annually. This makes Royal Lochnagar Diageo’s smallest distillery - making this bottling all the more special
Laid down to matured in 2000 for 21 years at the beautiful Royal Lochnagar distillery, this new release comes from Stewart Laing's iconic 'Old Malt Cask' range.
Charged from a refill hogshead, you can expect a fruity dram with a mineralic edge. The nose is very peachy, with toffee and a note of green ferns. The palate is richer with cherries and chocolate, with a spicy heat in the background.
