A tiny batch of Royal Lochnagar, part of a pioneering experiment to gain the angels’ share, the whisky lost from the cask by evaporation. When the experiment ended, a small amount of liquid was transferred into the present casks, to slumber peacefully until its fifth decade. 

This is a graceful, mature whisky of great freshness and vitality with aromas of honeysuckle, rose and bramble, leading to a smooth creamy mouthfeel.

Tasting Notes

Appearance:

Deep gold with copper lights. Fine and lingering beading, multiple long legs.

Body: 

Medium.

Nose:

A mellow nose with light prickle. Aromas of honeysuckle, rose and bramble.

Palate:

A smooth, creamy and mouth-filling texture and a sweet overall taste, very slightly waxy, with an intensely oaky and spicy start. Things soon become elegantly drying, with a real and growing warmth.

Finish:

Long, warming and spicy with an intense, spicy warmth spreading across the palate.
