About Royal Lochnagar
Sits within sight of Balmoral Castle on Royal Deeside and was granted its Royal Warrant in 1848 after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited from the estate next door. One of Diageo's smallest distilleries — tiny output, tiny visitor centre — but easy to combine with a Balmoral day out.
