Founder of the original Lochnagar distillery, James Robertson clearly had a few foes in the business as competitors burned it down and - after Robertson built a new distillery - the second subsequently suffered the same fate.
Lochnagar managed to establish a greater amount of luck and success when in 1845, John Begg built his ‘New Lochnagar’ which gained a rare Royal Warrant only a few years later. This was no doubt aided by Begg’s friendship with the Royal family: Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and their eldest children were even treated to the first tour of a distillery.
Royal Lochnagar remains Diageo’s smallest distillery and plays an important role in Johnnie Walker Blue Label and it’s the signature malt of Windsor, the best-selling Scotch blend in South Korea.
