Royal Salute was created in 1953 to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
A potent, sophisticated and opulent blend, aged at least 21, this Scotch whiskey is named after the tradition of the 21 Gun Salute, which is fired by cannon from the Tower of London during royal celebrations.
It represents the perfect marriage of single malt whiskeys – each of which has been individually aged in oak barrels for 21 years.
It was bottled in British porcelain jars.
