Royal Lochnagar Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old · 1974 Vintage
Out of stock
A Royal Lochnagar single malt released as part of the Rare Malts Selection, this 30 year old was distilled in 1974 and bottled in 2004 at a natural cask strength of 56.2% ABV.
The Rare Malts series was known for showcasing distilleries in a more powerful, undiluted style than their regular bottlings, often highlighting character rarely seen in standard releases. Extended ageing brings depth and refinement to Royal Lochnagar’s elegant Highland profile, where soft fruit, honeyed malt and gentle spice are supported by mature oak and a richer, more concentrated texture at cask strength.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with coppery highlights and a warm, sunlit glow.
Nose
Ripe orchard fruit mingles with honeyed malt, unfolding with gentle spice and a note of sherry richness. Vanilla and toasted oak frame the core, with dried fruit, almond and a hint of cocoa deepening the aroma. Concentrated, elegant and inviting, revealing the cask-strength Highland depth to come.
Palate
Powerful yet refined, the palate reveals honeyed malt and ripe orchard fruit, enrobed in creamy vanilla and mature oak. Sherry-cask nuance brings raisins, fig and a toffee note, while gentle spice—nutmeg and white pepper—lends lift. A luxurious, lingering finish with warming spice and polished oak.
Finish
Long, refined finish with honeyed malt and orchard fruit giving way to warm spice. Mature oak folds in, while a subtle sherry-tinged warmth lingers, persisting with a gentle, cask-strength glow.
