Originally called New Lochnagar, it was renamed following a royal visit from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1848. Today, the distillery combines the traditional pagoda kiln heads, and techniques like the open mash tun, with expert-led tours and tastings to help whisky lovers discover the story of Royal Lochnagar, its scenic setting and, most importantly, its beloved whisky.
