Royal Salute ’21 Years Old – Blended Grain’ Scotch Whisky (Limited Edition)
RM909.00
Royal Salute’s Master Blender, Sandy Hyslop, created this sweet, sophisticated blend as the perfect accompaniment to fine cuisine and celebratory moments. He hand-selected only the finest blends of grain whiskies, solely matured in American oak, to produce this sublime expression of blended grain whisky – bottled for the 1st time ever in a transparent bottle for the Limited Edition release.
A grain whisky can be made from any grains, as long as it’s not 100% malted barley (which would be a Malt whisky). This might be rye, wheat, maize, or barley, both malted and unmalted. They are usually made in a column rather than double pot-distilled, and whatever they are made from, flavours tend to be sweeter and smoother than 100% Malted barley.
Juicy peach and red apple, sweet honeycomb, creamy vanilla, sugared almonds and a hint of a Spring floral bouquet. Notes of soft caramel, honey and vanilla, sweet apricot, ripe pear, marzipan sweets and white chocolate. Notes of walnut, hazelnut and toasted oak complement the sweetness. Smooth and sweet finish, with enduring honeycomb.

About The Brand
In 1953, the young Princess Elizabeth ascended the throne. The occasion called for a tribute fit for a queen and so an exquisite blend was created using whisky from Strathisla, the oldest working distillery in the Scottish Highlands. It was given the name Royal Salute – after the famous 21-gun-salute – and so began the story of a remarkable whisky.
To this day, Royal Salute has marked each significant event in the lives of the British Monarchy and is unique in having only ever used whiskies aged at least 21 years in its blends. It is this unique commitment to quality and tradition that has given rise to the informal motto, “We Begin Where Others End”.
