Discover the essence of Royal Lochnagar Distillery, nestled just a mile from Balmoral Castle and at the foot of the Cairngorm mountains. Begin with a guided tour of this small, unique distillery, where traditional methods meet modern expertise.

Learn about the distillery’s history, from its royal visit by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1848 to its present-day production techniques. See the traditional pagoda kiln heads and open mash tun, and hear about the crystal-clear water of the Scarnock springs that feeds the distillery.
