Old Malt Cask Royal Lochnagar 14

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Douglas Laing & Co.

ABV: 50%

Score: 92 Points

This single cask bottling comes from a refill hogshead filled in June of 1997 and bottled in February of 2012. The nose is buttery, light, and fresh with brown sugar, fresh berries, and a touch of maltiness, but also develops a slight smokiness after several minutes. The taste is sweet and fruity with orange, brown sugar, raspberry, and honey notes. The finish is fruity and long with a good balance of orange, berries, and honey notes. Very nice.
