Description
The first whiff is an invitation to a gentle exploration. Speyside’s signature influence shines through – expect a wave of sweetness reminiscent of honey, intertwined with hints of zesty citrus fruits like lemon or orange peel. A touch of spice might peek through, adding a hint of complexity without overpowering the delicate nature of the dram.
The first sip is a smooth and delightful experience. The Highland tradition of triple distillation is evident in the luxurious texture that caresses the palate. The initial sweetness detected on the nose translates beautifully, with honey flavors taking center stage. Hints of citrus dance on the tongue, adding a refreshing vibrancy. The promised spice emerges subtly, perhaps a whisper of ginger or white pepper, warming the palate gently without any harshness.
The finish is clean and refreshing. The sweetness fades slowly, leaving a lingering touch of honey and citrus. The subtle spice might linger for a moment, a pleasant reminder of the flavor journey. This easy-drinking dram is perfect for those new to single malts or those who appreciate a lighter-bodied whisky. While the Baratheon sigil might evoke a sense of power, the Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old offers a surprisingly gentle and approachable experience, much like the moments of camaraderie shared around a fire in the vast halls of Westeros.
