Product information "Royal Lochnagar Distillers Edition 1996/2009 40% vol. 0,7l"
The distillery was founded in 1845 by John Begg. A few years after it was founded, John Begg sold a piece of land in close proximity to the distillery to Queen Victoria, whom he invited to visit shortly afterwards, but with the wish that she should not arrive before 6 pm. Despite this rudeness, the Queen appeared and was so impressed by the malt that John Begg was now allowed to use the addition "Royal". The largest part of the production goes into the in-house blend "John Begg Blue Cap". The highest quality barrels are bottled as single malt.
The whiskey is pleasantly malty with a wonderfully rounded body.
Unlike the 12-year-old, this malt has been given an additional ripening in a Muscat wine barrel. The berry and fruity notes are clearly recognizable here.
Data of bottling Identification: RL / 96-9T double matured Fine Old Muscat Cask-Wood
