Royal Lochnagar 1981 40 Year Prima & Ultima Collection (Third Release)
Single Malt
Royal Lochnagar // Highlands, Scotland
The Prima & Ultima Collection features rare single malts from Diageo brands which are either the first or last of its kind. The third release of the collection was curated by Master Blender Dr. Craig Wilson. Distilled in 1981, the whisky was part of a tiny experimental batch meant to gain the angels' share.
Aged initially in refill casks, it was then transferred into refill American oak hogsheads. It's bottled at its natural cask strength without chill filtration or added color. Only 1047 bottles produced. This Royal Lochnagar release is one of four in the series to be available in the US as of June 2022.
