Tasting Notes

Nose: Gentle wafts of honeycomb and wild heather entwine with notes of sultana, orange marmalade, and polished oak. Palate: Silky toffee and sweet malt open the way to dried apricot, soft nutmeg, and a touch of dark chocolate from the European oak influence. Finish: Medium-long and satisfyingly warm, leaving echoes of spiced fruitcake, mellow oak tannin, and a graceful flourish of floral Highland sweetness.
Discover a rare Highland treasure with Royal Lochnagar Distillery Exclusive Batch #1. Crafted from a select parcel of spirit matured in both first-fill and refill European-oak casks, this inaugural batch is limited to just 5,004 bottles and is normally sold only at the distillery’s visitor centre beside Balmoral. The European oak adds layers of dried-fruit richness and warming spice to Royal Lochnagar’s signature profile of heather honey, orchard fruit, and delicate oak refinement. Bottled at natural colour and without chill-filtration, Batch #1 offers an authentic, full-flavoured glimpse into the distillery’s royal lineage.

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

  • First release in the distillery-exclusive series—Batch #1 of only 5,004 numbered bottles.

  • Matured in a mix of first-fill and refill European-oak casks, bringing depth, dried-fruit richness, and gentle spice.

  • Bottled at natural colour and non-chill-filtered to preserve full texture and nuanced flavour.

  • Captures Royal Lochnagar’s elegant Highland style—heather honey, orchard fruit, and refined oak—augmented by continental wood complexity.

  • A perfect keepsake for visitors and collectors seeking a distinctive expression from the distillery favoured by royalty.

The Distillery

Royal Lochnagar
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.
