Royal Lochnagar The Managers Dram Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 1996 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Opulent and sun-kissed, orchard fruits meet honeyed vanilla and beeswax. Creamy malt notes drift with citrus zest over polished European oak, a measured spice hinting at the cask-strength richness to come.

Palate

Powerful yet refined, the palate unfolds at cask strength with a rich, creamy texture. Dark orchard fruits, blackberry and plum mingle with vanilla, caramel and espresso. European oak contributes spicy, peppery notes and a toasted-oak backbone that broadens mid-palate. The finish is long and warming, with malt sweetness lingering alongside hints of cocoa and dried fruit.

Finish

Long and graceful, the finish releases warm vanilla and toasted oak, with dried-fruit sweetness and a bright note of orange zest. Cinnamon and clove flicker briefly, giving way to a polished, peppery fade—with cocoa and a whisper of espresso—that lingers with elegant warmth.
