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 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. ...
