About Royal Lochnagar
The history of Royal Lochnagar dates back to 1826 when James Robertson took it upon himself to build a distillery at the foot of the Cairngorm mountains. Nestled between the Lochnagar mountain, the River Dee, and the Balmoral Castle, the distillery would be able to harness the nature with the crystal-clear water from the Scarnock springs. After the distillery was burnt down ― supposedly by Robertson's competitors ― it was rebuilt in 1845. In 1848 Queen Victoria visited the distillery. Having been impressed, she issued a Royal Warrant to the distillery, adding "Royal" to its title.
The distillery was passed down through generations, closing its doors when World War II broke out. In 1963 it was reconstructed with special care taken to retain its traditional features. Today the distillery is owned by the Abergeldie Estate and leased by Diageo, mostly producing whisky that is used in Johnnie Walker.
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
Opening with hints of orange zest and green apple on the nose, the whisky has a gentle sweetness on the palate that is balanced by fruity acidity. The finish is smooth and pleasantly sweet and bright with lingering white grape notes.
