Royal Lochnagar 30 Year Old 56.2% ABV / Distillery Bottling Category: Highland Compare Prices: Royal Lochnagar
Description: From the only distillery that is allowed to use the word royal in its name. This is a lovely rounded and honeyed malt, though the ageing has imparted a delicate finesse as well. For a special release rare malt this golden greatness, sits at an attractive price point under the £100 mark.
Tasting Notes: Deep gold in colour. The nose has a dusting of chalk, dry marzipan and acidic fruits plus light musty aromas, like Earl Grey tea. With water, pineapple appears, then settles to an attractive and complex depth of lychees. A chewy-textured palate has a sweet, perfumed start like sugared almonds that dies away gently away with a cinnamon and nutmeg finish, and gingery warmth.
Method of Production: Informed art is how Nicholson describes his approach to whisky manufacture and that means a thoroughly hands on, artisanal operation. Fermentation times are long, ensuring that every last morsel of character is extracted from the mash, and the distillerys short, stubby stills conjure up one of the fruitiest, richest spirits in the business. This special release has been made by selecting the very finest casks from a single vintage.
