| OVERVIEW | A favourite of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, being conveniently situated close by Balmoral Castle. Royal Lochnagar was originally a key ingredient in VAT 69, but most production is now for single malts.
NOSENot 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. BODYMedium. PALATEPleasant; an initial sweetness is quickly overtaken by acidity. FINISHDry; medium-length, with an attractive lingering sandalwood aftertaste.
