Selected Reserve, Royal Lochnagar, Whisky, (bottled 2009)

Seller description

Royal Lochnagar is a small Single Malt distillery in the Highland zone, famous for its Royal Warrant. It lies on the Abergeldie Estate near Crathie in Royal Deeside. It is leased from the estate by Diageo and forms part of their Classic Malts Selection. Volumes are low, with the majority of production being used in Johnnie Walker blends. Two “regular” Single Malt whiskies are currently produced. The 12-year-old with subtle notes of dry grass, nuts and spice. is the core release with the widest availability, and is bottled at 40 percent abv. The Selected Reserve is released without an age statement at 43 percent abv. It comes from older spirits and commands a much higher price. It is richer and rounder with more fruitcake characters, and has less in common with the unaged spirit.
