The Royal Lochnagar Distillery is a small single malt Scotch whisky distillery located near Balmoral Castle in Royal Deeside, Scotland. Founded in 1845 by John Begg, the distillery holds a Royal Warrant and is known for its high-quality whisky. It has a rich history, including a visit from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1848, which led to the distillery being renamed Royal Lochnagar. Today, it is leased by Diageo and produces a limited amount of whisky, with most of it used in blends like Johnnie Walker. Visitors can enjoy a standard 12-year-old single malt or special editions like the 'Balmoral platinum edition' released for the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2022.
