The Royal Lochnagar 17-Year-Old Single Malt Refill Cask is a special edition whisky, crafted to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the distillery. This limited edition is a testament to Royal Lochnagar's long-standing tradition of excellence in whisky production. Aged for 17 years in refill casks, this whisky exemplifies the subtlety and elegance that the distillery is known for.
The use of refill casks, which have previously held whisky, allows the spirit to mature more slowly and gently, developing a refined complexity without overpowering the delicate flavors inherent in the whisky. This maturation process imparts a balanced profile, with notes of soft oak, vanilla, and a touch of fruitiness, complemented by the signature smoothness of Royal Lochnagar.
This 17-year-old single malt was released as part of a special collection to honor the distillery's 175-year history, making it not only a collector's item but also a celebration of the heritage and craftsmanship that define Royal Lochnagar. The packaging and presentation of this edition reflect the prestige of the occasion, with attention to detail that mirrors the quality of the whisky itself.
