Baratheon Royal Lochnagar Bottling Note
Many have fallen for the charms and complexities of Game of Thrones. You've spent years afraid your favourite characters might get killed off. You can't help but hum the intro theme. Now, thanks to Diageo and HBO, you can toast its triumphs with a bottling from its range of eight rare single malt Scotch whiskies.
The limited-edition Scotch you see here is Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old, a Highland stalwart from a distillery that was said to be a favourite of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and is conveniently situated close to Balmoral Castle. Combined with its proximity to Cairngorms National Park, an area that contains one quarter of Scotland’s native forest and plenty of deer, it's little wonder that it was paired with House Baratheon, a house with plenty of royal connections and whose sigil features a rampant stag.
Tasting Note
Nose: Creamy, aromatic nose with hints of hay, malted barley, oak and mixed peels.

Finish: The finish is all about grass and honey.
Overall: A sweet, summery dram…
