About this deal

The nose is gently fruity and sweet - almost like a lighter version of a fruity christmas cake. Just a tingle of spices at the end. Speaking of which, the team are very good at minimising any exposure to the virus with cleaning taking place between groups and limiting numbers into the shop. I would like to visit it tomorrow 9th april with my wife her sister and husband and two children (12 & 14).

The Scotch opens sweet, then dry and with minimal smoke. Licorice notes can also be perceived here. All in all, the composition reminds us of suede care products. The flavours are very defined, slightly oily and wonderfully rounded. FinishWe had a very lovely time at the Royal Lochnagar Distillery! Thank you so much Eric for your guided tour, it was fun and interesting! We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.

I would highly recommend making a visit to this distillery over others as it has a more intimate / boutique feel! I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband as it’s one of his favourites. I was very impressed with the service and communication. It actually came the next day, so very happy. Would definitely use this company again.A soft, buttery and velvety finish. A warming oak spice and alcoholic fizzle to it but the creamy texture and honey sweetness is lasting. Like a fruit cake served with cream. To promote responsible drinking and safety they even provided a small bottle to carry the sample so that whoever is driving can also taste the whisky - from the comforts of their own home.

RL 12 is very light and smooth, may not be for the fans of the Island malts, there is a just enough depth to keep me interested. Royal Lochnagar Bottler Distillery Bottling Bottling serie Blue Coat of Arms Label Bottled 2008 Stated Age 12 years old Strength 40.0 % Vol. Size 700 ml Barcode 5000281004686 Added on 22 feb 2009 4:16 pm One of only three distilleries in Scotland that are allowed to use the "Royal" name on the label and came about because of its location near the Royal residence of Balmoral and was a favourite tipple of Queen Victoria and her husband Albert. The nose is inviting with warm woody smells, vanilla and spice. Not scoring points for complexity or distinctiveness but it’s a pleasant aroma. On the palate it’s medium bodied with sherry flavours dominating, some butter and touches of cinnamon and oak. The finish is better than I was expecting. Too many malts at 40% die short and bitter ends, but this has some sweetness lingering for a reasonable time with malty spicy flavours associated.Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
