This exceptional Highland single malt was distilled at Royal Lochnagar in 1994 and matured for 26 years in a European oak cask, before being bottled as part of Diageo’s prestigious Casks of Distinction program. Drawn from cask #1289, this release was created in partnership with Scottish Ballet, making it a unique expression that combines the artistry of whisky-making with Scotland’s national dance company. Bottled at natural cask strength, it showcases the depth and elegance for which Royal Lochnagar is renowned. Presented with its original booklet, this release provides valuable background and context, further enhancing its appeal for serious collectors.

Royal Lochnagar Distillery

Founded in 1845 by John Begg, Royal Lochnagar sits in the Highland region, neighbouring the Balmoral Estate. A visit by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1848 led to the granting of a Royal Warrant, a distinction still proudly held today. Now part of the Diageo portfolio, the distillery is celebrated for its refined and approachable style, often featuring in premium blends but also highly prized as a single malt in special and limited releases.
