Drawing through the exceptionally aged selection of casks laid down over time by Chivas Brothers in the Highlands of Scotland, a mix of whiskies aged at least 21 years are skillfully married to get a blend fit for royalty. The Royal Salute 21 Years Old is reference to the long tradition of firing cannons being a sign of respect or thanks for visiting sovereigns and dignitaries: the 21 Gun Royal Salute. Over the years, this special blend has stayed true to its roots.
Rich, fruity aromas and sweet fragrance of autumn flowers. Powerful aromas of sweet pears and citrus fruits are balanced with full fragrance of Autumn flowers. Elegant aromas of sweet vanilla along with a dry oakiness are enhanced with subtle notes of sherry and smoke. Full, deep fruity flavors which has a subtle smokiness. The very first taste of Royal Salute brings the subtleties in the nose one's. Sumptuous sweet orange marmalade flavors infused with fresh pears burst through the tongue. The next taste brings in a rich medley of spices along with a nuttiness of hazelnuts which may have a mouth-filling intensity and so the final warmth from hints of masculine smokiness. Rich, long, and lingering finish.
To this day, Royal Salute has marked each significant event in the lives from the British Monarchy and is unique of having only ever used whiskies aged no less than 21 years in their blends. It is this unique dedication to quality and tradition that has led to the informal motto, “We Begin Where Others End”.
