Anniversary 17 Year Old
Royal Lochnagar is a tiny distillery, and most of its output is used as components in blended scotch whiskies, such as Johnny Walker Black and Blue labels. But, to celebrate its 175
th anniversary it has released this rare, and highly collectable, mid-aged single malt. The original distillery, founded in 1826, was burnt down in suspicious circumstances fifteen years later.
It reopened on its current site in 1845. The new location, close to the Balmoral Estate lead to a visit from Queen Victoria in 1848, and a royal warrant soon followed. Aged in a combination European oak sherry casks, and bottled at cask strength, the 17-year-old is an exceptional highland single malt, which melds local flavours of bracken and bramble with surprising tropical notes of melon and mango.
