Royal Lochnagar 16 Year Old Special Release 2021 57.5% 70cl

Royal Lochnagar 16 Year Old Special Release 2021 57.5% ABV

A delightful single malt from Diageo’s [comparatively] small Royal Lochnagar single malt Scotch distillery in the Highlands. This expression is a blend of American oak and European refill cask liquid, bottled specially for the 2021 Special Releases collection. It’s a lively and characterful edition from the lesser-spotted distillery.

Tasting note:

Nose: Like a traditional bakery, there are notes of croissants, brioche buns, icing sugar, toffee, and apple sauce.

Palate: Creamy with a smattering of chilli spice before more baked goods, vanilla custard, cut grass and ice cream wafer come through. 

Finish: Medium length with gentle nutmeg spice.
