Royal Lochnagar Distillery
Known locally as the Queen's Distillery, Royal Lochnagar has a history related to Queen Victoria and the use (and proximity) Balmoral Castle, the summer residence of the current monarchy. Currently this distillery is owned by a consortium of distilleries that a few years ago came together to become stronger and avoid possible closures. The tour is very enjoyable and the people there are very helpful. Their product is strong malt whiskey. I must admit that it is not my favorite but it is of very good quality. However, many are unaware that it produces a very unique malt whiskey specially for Balmoral Castle.
It is obvious that this is the British monarchy's whiskey and often used for parties and similar events. I tried both and must admit that this second (called "Balmoral") by far exceeds the first. This has a Victorian origin. Queen Victoria visited a whiskey distillery and special custom, which according to the locals, this ensured the distillery could keep running. Another important thing - the distillery is near the river Dee and in the middle of a forest, which makes finding is not easy, but the landscapes are beautiful.
