Royal Lochnagar Distillery

Royal Lochnagar Distillery, originally established by James Robertson in 1823, sits on the southern banks of the River Dee beneath the majestic Lochnagar Mountain, which provides its water from wells on the mountain's slopes. Rebuilt after a fire in 1826, the distillery earned its royal warrant and boasts royal neighbors during summer months. This traditional stone-built, farmyard-style distillery features a malt kiln, pagoda roof, two stills, a red brick chimney, and worm tubs. Renowned for its refined single malts, its core range includes the Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old and Distillers Edition, celebrated for their elegance and depth.
