Part of Diageo's Special Releases for 2021, this edition is affectionately known as "The Spring Stallion," inspired by the legend of a snow-white horse heralding the arrival of spring. This exquisite single malt was distilled in 2004 and meticulously matured for 16 years in both American oak and European oak refill casks. Bottled at a robust cask strength of 57.5% ABV, the whisky remains unadulterated, free from artificial coloring or chill filtration, preserving its authentic character.
The Royal Lochnagar 16 Year Old greets the senses with a captivating aroma featuring orange zest, green apple, puff pastry, white grapes, mossy earth, and spicy oak, interwoven with hints of peat, honey, ginger, cinnamon, and vanilla. On the palate, it unfolds layers of barley sugar sweeties, tart green apples, dry oak, white pepper, and warming spices. The texture is creamy, with a fruity acidity that evolves into a quick oaky dryness, leaving a long-lasting finish with peppery, spicy, and oaky notes that conclude with a hint of fruitiness.
This elegant whisky, with its beautiful deep golden hue, is a tribute to its makers and the distillery's storied past. The horse emblem on the bottle captures the 'Legends Untold' theme of the 2021 Special Releases, celebrating the myths and legends surrounding Royal Lochnagar.
