Royal Lochnagar's production process is steeped in tradition, utilising time-honored methods that have been passed down through generations. The distillery's relatively small size allows for meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a range of single malt whiskies known for their elegance and complexity. The use of clear mountain water from the Scarnock Springs, traditional wooden washbacks, and direct-fired stills contribute to the distinctive character of Royal Lochnagar's whiskies. These expressions, often aged in oak casks that previously held sherry or bourbon, are celebrated for their balanced profile of fruit, spices, and a hint of smoke—characteristics emblematic of the Highland region's diverse whisky-making heritage.
