Royal Lochnagar1981 - Single Malt Whisky - Prima & Ultima Third Release

70cl / 52.5% ABV

Royal Lochnagar 1981 Prima & Ultima Third Release

A tiny batch of Royal Lochnagar, part of a pioneering experiment to gain the angels’ share, the whisky lost from the refill American oak hogshead by evaporation. When the experiment ended, a small amount of liquid was transferred into the present casks, to slumber peacefully until its fifth decade. Selected by Dr Craig Wilson, Royal Lochnagar 1981 is one of eight carefully curated whiskies in the third instalment of the Prima & Ultima series with only 1047 bottles released. This is a graceful, mature whisky of great freshness and vitality with aromas of honeysuckle, rose and bramble, leading to a smooth creamy mouthfeel.
