Royal Lochnagar, 12 yr old, Single Malt Scotch Whisky

700 ml, 40.0% abv, Scotland (Highland)

Royal Lochnagar 12 year old is a fragrant Highland single malt with a delightful balance of fruit and spices. Lots going on, with sherry, stewed fruit, malty vanilla notes and a trace of smoke.

“A big, spicy buzz followed by an impressive build up of very clear, well defined malt. After a quick burst of sweetness, a rich, grape effect moves in towards the middle”

Description

APPEARANCE : Pale amber.

NOSE : Not obvious to begin with. Planed wood, light toffee, boat varnish. Linseed oil behind, even putty, and later a lychee-like acidity. With water the acidity comes through (acid drops), and the nose sweetens. Still a pleasant fresh woodiness, followed by warm sand. After a while, coffee with brown sugar.

PALATE : Pleasant; an initial sweetness is quickly overtaken by acidity.

FINISH : Dry; medium-length, with an attractive lingering sandalwood aftertaste.
