Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old House Baratheon is a Highland single malt bottled at 40% ABV, released by Diageo in 2018 as one of eight expressions in the official HBO Game of Thrones Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection to mark the show's final season. Discontinued since the collection's run ended, this bottling has since become a sought-after piece for both whisky collectors and Game of Thrones fans, carrying House Baratheon's crowned stag sigil on the label.

Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old House Baratheon Tasting Notes

Nose: Vanilla, gentle oak, and a touch of dried fruit.
Palate: Burnt caramel, ginger, and sweet liquorice, balanced by soft spice.
Finish: Honey, fresh hay, and a lingering warmth of oak.

Why Choose Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old House Baratheon?

As a discontinued release from a limited, one-time Diageo collaboration, this bottle sits at the intersection of two collector markets — Scotch enthusiasts and Game of Thrones memorabilia collectors — which has kept demand steady well after the original release window closed. Royal Lochnagar's light, delicate house style suits House Baratheon's positioning as the ruling house of the Seven Kingdoms, and the bottling has held its value as one of the more recognisable entries in the eight-whisky collection.

What Makes Royal Lochnagar Distillery Unique?

Established in 1845 near Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands, Royal Lochnagar earned a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria after she visited the distillery in 1848 — a rare royal endorsement that gave the distillery its name. It remains one of Scotland's smallest working distilleries, producing in modest volumes with a style known for restraint and elegance rather than power, which made it Diageo's pick to represent the Baratheon monarchy in the Game of Thrones collection.
