Royal Lochnagar The Managers Dram - Single Malt Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a mahogany depth, a warm, inviting hue that hints at sherry influence and cask-strength richness.

Nose

Opulent sherry-kissed aromas unfold in waves: dark plum and dried fig, orange zest, and toffee, threaded with walnut and cocoa nibs. Rich vanilla oak, cinnamon and clove spice rise from the 58.1% cask-strength embrace, hinting at warm, lingering sweetness.

Palate

Silky yet robust, the palate opens with dark fruit—fig, cherry, raisin—threaded with cocoa, honeyed vanilla, and orange zest. Sherry cask influence brings sweetness and tang, while oak spice and peppery warmth carry through. A long, luxurious finish reveals chocolatey depth, caramelized fruit, and a refined, lingering dryness.

Finish

Powerful, lingering finish at cask strength: rich sherry-forward sweetness with dried fruits, dark cocoa and toasted oak, tempered by warm spice that slowly fades into a velvet, enduring glow.
