Royal Lochnagar is one of the smallest distilleries in the Highlands. It stands just beyond the boundaries of Balmoral Castle, at the foot of the majestic peak from which it takes its name & its pure mountain water. A combination of nature's finest ingredients & the Distiller's art produces the distinctive, mellow taste of Royal Lochnagar. Twelve years in oaken casks complete the task that human skill began. This is a whisky you will treasure & enjoy with those who share your appreciation. Queen Victoria is is reputed to have enjoyed this malt & to have used it to lace her claret, thereby ruining two of the world's greatest drinks. She visited the distillery which is at the foot of the mountain of Lochnager (1156m/3789ft), just off the B976 & just over the hill from the Royal family's Scottish home at Balmoral. A man believed originally to have been an illicit whisky-maker established the first legal Lochnagar distillery in 1826 & the present premises were built in 1845. Three years later the Royal family acquired Balmoral. The then owner John Begg recorded that he wrote a note inviting Prince Albert to come & was rewarded with a visit the very next day. Soon afterwards the distillery began to supply the Queen & became known as Royal Lochnagar. Over the years the distillery has been rebuilt three times, most recently in 1967. For a period in the late 1970s & early 1980s the distillery stopped using the royal prefix but this has now been restored. ...

Medium gold in in appearance, with a fine fresh bouquet of orange peel & flowers. On the palate it has an excellent balance, the sweetness being offset by fine acidity. Flavours of tropical fruits & oranges with a great length. A perfect example of a five puttonyos wine. This 5 puttonyos wine shows the distinctive house style of the Royal Tokaji Wine Company. The wines are blended after careful selection from several Royal Tokaji vineyards. The skill & traditions of producing Aszu wines have changed little since the 17th Century. Hand picked Aszu berries are macerated with finest top quality base wines. The resultant Aszu wines mature at different sweetness levels, generally 4, 5 or 6 puttonyos. Careful pruning in the 1st & 2nd Growth vineyards, hand picking & maturation for a minimum of 2 years in Zemplen oak casks in 13th century cellars, ensure these rich, refreshing wines are produced to the highest quality. This 5 puttonyos wine was fermented 100% in stainless steel tanks with own yeast inoculated, & was aged two & a half years in used oak. For fining bentonite & gelatine were added. ...
A delightful nose of honey & peaches, delicate & graceful on the palate with traces of citrus fruit & spice. Very elegant & perfectly balances with a refreshing crisp long finish.
Royal Tokaji's 1st growth Nyulaszo vineyard is the benchmark for quality.
As in all aszu wines, the three grape varieties are Furmint, Harslevel & Muscat de Lunel. ...

Answering the needs of the different markets of finding a high quality, fresh but still typical Tokaji dry wine, made according to the justified traditional method.
