This bottling of an 18-year-old Royal Lochnagar was produced as a small batch by the independent bottler Cadenhead. The whisky was distilled in 1996, matured in a recharred ex-sherry butt and was bottled at cask strength in 2015.
Royal Lochnagar is one of the smallest whisky distilleries in Scotland. Founded in 1845 by John Begg and appointed purveyor to the court in 1848 through contact with nearby Balmoral Castle, it produces a fresh and fruity malt. The old stone houses and the somewhat hidden location in the eastern Highlands give the brand a very special charm.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
