This bottle is a 12-year-old single Highland malt produced by the prestigious Royal Lochnagar Distillery, located in the Highlands and bestowed the title of "Royal" by Queen Victoria. The "BORCO MARKEN-IMPORT" inscription on the back label indicates that this is a European market model distributed through a prestigious German importer. The bottle specifications date back to the period when the modern international standard of 700ml volume / 40% alcohol by volume was being adopted, capturing the spirit of the mid-1990s to early 2000s, a time when distillery traditions were being re-evaluated worldwide.
Due to its location, Royal Lochnagar is also known as the malt of choice for Balmoral Castle, and is characterized by its delicate and sophisticated flavor. The aroma is a harmonious blend of gentle sweetness reminiscent of licorice and light toffee, fruity nuances like lychee, and a slight earthy smokiness. The palate is very smooth, dominated by the warm sweetness of honey and vanilla. The finish is very clean, yet lingers with a slight peppery spiciness.
Compared to current official bottles, bottles from this era offer a more classic peaty flavor and complex aged notes, making them a special treasure for malt whisky lovers around the world, offering a taste of history and tradition. As these are old bottles, there may be signs of a drop in the liquid level or changes in the label over time. Please check the condition and only consider purchasing if you understand these changes.
