The Story
Royal Salute 21 Year Old The Signature Blend is a remarkably prestigious and luxurious blended Scotch whisky, famously created in 1953 as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her coronation. Housed in its iconic porcelain flagon, the "Signature Blend" ensures that every single drop of whisky in the bottle has been aged for a minimum of 21 years. Crafted primarily with malts from the Strathisla distillery in Speyside, it is an exquisitely balanced and sophisticated whisky that delivers an opulent symphony of sweet fruits, delicate floral notes, and a subtle wisp of elegant smoke.
Food Pairing: This deeply complex and regal whisky pairs exquisitely with rich, gamey dishes such as roasted duck or venison. It is also an exceptional companion to fine dark chocolate desserts or a sophisticated cheese board featuring mature cheddar and rich Roquefort.
TASTING NOTES - A deep, rich golden amber. The texture is profoundly smooth, velvety, and luxurious on the palate.
NOSE - A beautifully fragrant and complex bouquet. Notes of sweet pears and citrus fruits are elegantly balanced with the soft fragrance of autumn flowers, vanilla, and dry oak.
PALATE - Decadent, rich, and mouth-coating. The welcome warmth of sweet orange marmalade and fresh pears is followed by a brave explosion of winter spices, hazelnut, and a rich, underlying sherry sweetness.
FINISH - Exceptionally long, dry, and slightly spicy, trailing off with a gentle, lingering touch of soft smoke.
SERVE - Best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass to appreciate its intricate aromas, or with a few drops of pure water to unlock its rich floral and fruity complexities.
