Gift

Choose the Royal Lochnagar 12 when buying for someone with a more savoury palate. The sweetness is subdued, but the flavours are very complex and interesting, you can see why Diageo would want this liquid present in their blends. If you find Speyside malts overly sweet or rich, give this whisky a go.

RECOMMENDATIONS
