LOCHNAGAR DISTILLERY

Reputedly, Queen Victoria enjoyed this famously rich malt and used it to lace her claret, thereby ruining two of the world’s greatest drinks.  The distillery is at the foot of the mountain of Lochnagar, near the River Dee, not far from Aberdeen.

A man believed originally to have been an illicit whisky maker established the first legal Lochnagar distillery in 1826, and the present premises were built in 1845.  Three years later, the Royal family acquired nearby Balmoral as their Scottish country home.  The then owner, John Begg, wrote a note to inviting Prince Albert to visit.  The Prince and Queen Victoria arrived the very next day.  Soon afterwards, the distillery began to supply the Queen, and became known as Royal Lochnagar.  Over the years, the distillery has been rebuilt three times, most recently in 1967.  Its whisky has been an important component in the blend VAT 69.

The water flows from the small peak of Lochnagar over peat and heather.  The 12-year-old is aged in second-fill casks, while the Selected Reserve has 50 per cent sherry.
