As the name already suggests, the blended Royal Salute was created in honour of the British monarchy, beginning with Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne in 1953, and it was inevitable that a version would be created to celebrate the imminent coronation of King Charles III.
Created by Master Blender Sandy Hyslop, it’s a blend of 53 grains and malts (defined as ‘rare’), in a Dartington crystal decanter of a deep sapphire blue to recall the crown stones, with the wooden box graphics recalling Westminster Abbey.
500 bottles at the royal price of £25,000.
