Royal Salute
Royal Salute is a Scotch whisky born out of regal tradition and crafted to honor nobility. Launched in 1953 by Chivas Brothers, it was created to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. From its inception, Royal Salute set itself apart by releasing only whiskies aged for a minimum of 21 years—an extraordinary benchmark that established its reputation for luxury and refinement. The name itself is inspired by the traditional 21-gun salute, a ceremonial gesture reserved for royalty and dignitaries.
The whisky is a masterful blend of some of Scotland’s rarest and most aged single malts and grain whiskies. It’s crafted in Strathisla, the oldest working distillery in the Scottish Highlands, where heritage and artistry intersect. Known for its smooth, complex, and elegant character, Royal Salute offers notes of rich fruit, deep spice, and subtle smokiness that linger gracefully on the palate. Each expression is a balance of power and finesse, revealing layers that unfold slowly with each sip.
Royal Salute is as visually striking as it is refined in taste. Its signature porcelain flagon, inspired by British royal traditions and produced by Wade Ceramics, reinforces the brand’s deep ties to craftsmanship and elegance. Over the years, the brand has released limited editions and collaborations that pay homage to history, art, and global royalty—each one a collector’s item and a celebration of timeless prestige.
More than just a whisky, Royal Salute is a tribute to legacy and majesty. It embodies a spirit of excellence reserved for life’s grandest occasions, making it a symbol of honor, tradition, and the enduring allure of age and grace.
