- Description
- Royal Lochnagar Selected Reserve is a sherried Highland single malt from this prestigious distillery near Balmoral, bottled in the 1980s before the expression was phased out around 2008. The sherry cask maturation brings dark fruit, honey, and warming spice to a naturally full palate with excellent integration. A very drinkable dram that demonstrates the distillery's refined house style.
