A man believed
originally to have been an illicit whisky-maker established the first
legal Lochnagar distillery in 1826 and the present premises were built in
1845. Three years later the Royal family acquired Balmoral. The then owner
John Begg recorded that he wrote a note inviting Prince Albert to come and
was rewarded with a visit the very next day. Soon afterwards the
distillery began to supply the Queen and became known as Royal Lochnagar.
Over the years the distillery has been rebuilt three times, most recently
in 1967. For a period in the late 1970s and early 1980s the distillery
stopped using the "royal" prefix but this has now been restored.
