A miniature bottle of Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky, produced by John Begg Ltd.
We estimate this to have been bottled were bottled in/around 1980s/90s.
Please note as this is a vintage bottle, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary - Some years can vary as estimations only (example: estimated 1970s/80s).
Nose: Not obvious to begin with. Planed wood with light toffee and a boat varnish. Linseed oil behind, even putty, and later a lychee-like acidity arrives. With water the acidity comes through and the nose sweetens. Still a pleasant fresh woodiness, followed by warm sand. After a while, coffee with brown sugar.
Palate: Pleasant and the initial sweetness of the whisky is quickly overtaken by acidity.
Finish: Dry; medium-length.
