Distilled in 2004, this 16-year-old Royal Lochnagar single malt has been matured in both American oak and European oak refill casks, before being bottled as part of Diageo's 2021 Special Releases. Aromas of orange zest, green apple, puff pastry, white grapes, mossy earth and spicy oak fill the nose. The palate offers notes of barley sugar sweeties, tart green apples, dry oak, white pepper and warming spices that linger in the finish.
