About
A tiny, charming Highland distillery at the gates of Balmoral Castle, the Royal family's Scottish residence. Founder John Begg invited Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to visit in 1848 -- the resulting Royal Warrant gave the distillery its prefix and made it the only 'Royal' distillery in Scotland. One of Scotland's smallest Diageo distilleries, producing just 500,000 LPA from two diminutive pot stills. The spirit is rich, sherried, and full-bodied -- a key component of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. The 12-year-old Selected Reserve is a rare single malt not often seen outside the distillery's visitor center. Royal Lochnagar's combination of royal history, intimate scale, and Balmoral proximity makes it one of Scotland's most atmospheric distillery visits.
