Royal Lochnagar 1994 European Oak #1289 56.3% 700ml information

The Royal Lochnagar 1994 European Oak #1289 is a single malt Scotch whisky of unparalleled quality and rarity, released as part of Diageo's prestigious Casks of Distinction programme. This bottle, known as the "Sleeping Beauty Cask," is one of only 503 ever released and was bottled on April 9, 2021, at a natural cask strength of 56.3% ABV and natural color. Laid down in 1994 at the behest of Lord MacFarlane of Bearsden, who was Chair of United Distillers and Vice Chair of Scottish Ballet at the time, Cask #1289 was specially selected by master blender Craig Wilson for its exceptional quality and to reflect the distillery's unique character. After 26 years of maturation in a single European Oak butt, often used for sherry maturation, the whisky was expertly bottled. This release is not only a delightful addition to any whisky collection but also a collectible piece of art and a tribute to the Scottish Ballet. The cask end of Cask #1289 was artistically painted by Scottish artist Norman Edgar, depicting Scottish Ballet Principal dancer Nicci Theis in the iconic role of Princess Aurora, the sleeping beauty. This bottle holds significance for whisky lovers and ballet enthusiasts alike, with proceeds aiding the Scottish Ballet Endowment Fund.
