Royal Lochnagar ROYAL LOCHNAGAR 12yo OB 40% 1970s Circulation The aroma has a slightly strong old feel, gentle old sherry, caramel, orange, refined barley notes, honey, a bit of dustiness, faint old peat. When drinking, it has orange marmalade sweetness, a rich flavor with body, and the savory barley notes seep into the tongue. [Good/Very Good] This is an official bottle of Lochnagar 12 Year Old with Johnnie Walker labeling, believed to have circulated in the 1970s. It is still Lochnagar without the Royal label, and the Deeside labeling also looks nice. The aging period after bottling was long, so naturally the old feel is stronger. However, it has a rich aroma with old sherry notes, and the sweetness of orange and honey, as well as the savory barley flavor that lingers on the tongue, is pleasant. It was a delicious bottle with a good body. #RoyalLochnagar (ROYAL LOCHNAGAR)
