If you’re fortunate enough to bump into Distillery Manager, Donald Renwick on a visit, he’ll happily share with you the recipe for success that he believes makes Royal Lochnagar Distillery unique:

- 25,000 litres of fresh Scottish spring water

- 5½ tonnes of specially selected premium barley

- 60kg of distiller’s yeast

- 6 highly skilled operators

It’s this combination that delivers this magnificent single malt enjoyed by thousands across the world.

Just make sure that you don’t make the same mistake as Queen Victoria is said to have done on an early visit, when she mixed Royal Lochnagar single malt with fine claret “thereby ruining two of the world’s great drinks. ”
Michael Jackson, whisky writer and expert

Currently, a very limited quantity of Royal Lochnagar Special Reserve is available in the United States. If you are looking for a malt with a similar taste profile, try Cardhu™ or Glen Elgin™ .
