Royal Lochnagar 12 Year Old Game of Thrones / House Baratheon

Royal Lochnagar is so-called after it was bestowed with a Royal Warrant by Prince Albert and Queen Victoria following a visit in 1848. The popularity of the distillery’s Begg’s blend saw it acquired by John Dewar & Sons in 1916, who later became part of DCL, upping the demand for its whisky from other brands in their portfolio, including Johnnie Walker. Today it is part of Diageo, their smallest distillery by some margin, making the modest amount of its single malt spared for bottling increasingly sought after.

This Diageo collaboration with HBO in 2018 saw their Classic Malts range reimagined as being somehow related to the landed houses of the Game of Thrones television series.
