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.
