Description

A bottle of Royal Lochnagar Selected Reserve, presented in a wooden box. This was imported to Italy by P Soffiantino, we estimate in the 1980s.

The label tells the story of how Lochnagar earned its 'Royal' title:

The Diary of John Begg 14th September 1848:

'I asked Prince Albert if he would like to taste a dram. HRH having agreed to this, I called for a bottle and glasses (which had been previously in readiness) and, presenting one glass to Her Majesty, she tasted it. So did His Royal Highness the Prince. I then presented a glass to the Princess Royal, and to the Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred, all of whom tasted the spirit.'

As a result of this visit the Distillery was granted the privilege of calling itself 'Royal' Lochnagar, the very first to be accorded this honour by Her Majesty.

This is bottle number 02461.

This Royal Lochnagar Selected Reserve sold at our online auction for £200
