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 "Special Grade Whisky" label, visible in the image, indicates that this bottle was imported to Japan in the 1980s. The bottom of the bottle proudly bears the Royal Warrants from Queen Victoria and King Edward VII, indicating its prestige. The top of the cap is decorated in navy blue with a coat of arms.
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.
This 1980s bottle offers a more classic peaty flavor and complex aged feel than current products, making it a special piece for malt whiskey lovers to appreciate history and tradition. As this is an old bottle, there may be signs of a drop in the liquid level and changes in the label over time. Please check the condition and consider purchasing only if you understand this.
