Royal Lochnagar 1998 Distillers Edition

A beautifully soft, rounded and comforting whisky that’s a pleasure to drink. Double matured in sweet Muscat wine casks. Royal Lochnagar James Robertson established the original Royal Lochnagar Distillery on the north bank of the River Dee in 1823. Following a fire in 1826 he opened a new Royal Lochnagar Distillery close by the southern banks of the River Dee and in the shadow of Lochnagar Mountain which also supplied the distillery with water from wells on its lower slopes. Royal Lochnagar can claim the royal prefix, a royal warrant and royal neighbours in the summer time. Royal Lochnagar Distillery is a traditional stone built farm-yard style malt whisky distillery complete with a malt kiln and pagoda roof, two stills, square red brick chimney and steamy worm tubs.  The Royal Lochnagar Distillery visitor centre welcomes visitors and offers distillery tours.
On the nose strawberry jam, bags of jelly babies, then a richly malty heart with malt loaf and Dundee cake. The palate is Oily. Fruity, with a silky cereal smoothness. Soft and biscuity finish.
