Royal Salute was created in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. A powerful, sophisticated and opulent blend, aged for a minimum of 21 years and housed in a classic Wade porcelain flagon, this scotch whisky is named for the tradition of the 21 Gun Salute that is fired at the Tower of London for Royal celebrations.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE:
Powerful aromas of sweet pear and citrus fruits are balanced with the full fragrance of summer flowers leading to elegant aromas of sweet vanilla and dry oakiness.
PALATE:
The first sip releases sumptuous sweet orange marmalade flavours infused with fresh pears that burst across the tongue. The second brings a medley of spices and hazelnuts.
FINISH:
Long, sweet and fruity flavours round off into enhanced subtle notes of sherry and smoke.
