Royal Salute The Coronation of King Charles III Edition is a precious limited-edition 21-year-old blended Scotch whisky crafted to celebrate the start of a new era of contemporary monarchy. Expertly created by Royal Salute Master Blender Sandy Hyslop, this coveted expression is a blend of over 53 rare malt and grain whiskies, finished for over two years in a first-fill oloroso sherry butt. Bottled at 52.3% ABV, it is housed in a Dartington Crystal decanter tinted in a deep sapphire blue hue, reminiscent of the precious stones set within the Imperial State Crown.

Royal Salute was first created in 1953 as a gift for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her Coronation, and is produced and bottled by Chivas Brothers at the Strathisla Distillery in Speyside, Scotland. On the nose, this expression offers fresh redcurrants, homemade strawberry jam, banoffee pie, dark chocolate praline, freshly-roasted chestnuts, clove spice, and a hint of charred pineapple. The palate presents a balanced mix of poached pears, sticky sweet figs, rich toffee, lavish hazelnut chocolate, and lively festive spice of fresh ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. The finish is long and rich with enduring, playful spice.
