There are faint hints of spice and ginger.įINISH: The whisky finish ends in notes of spice and toffee. But the flavours of oak and barley combine with fresh fruit and becomes amazingly balanced. It is not the most complex whisky and quite thin on the mouth. There is an abundance of fresh fruit and little hints of smoke. Tasting it brings notes of vanilla and sweetness to the palate. There are very subtle hints of smoke in the background. The fresh-cut flowers become more pronounced after adding a few drops of water. There are notes of vanilla and caramel with lots of fresh-cut flowers.

Kristjana's exclusive artwork for the brand was unveiled in November 2019, at a reception and art exhibition at Seoul’s Banyan Tree Hotel. Kristjana’s illustrations drew on the rich heritage of the brand, featuring the characters from the Royal Menagerie at the Tower of London, such as the emblematic Lion, and images reflecting the brands Scottish roots, such as the tartan butterflies and the view of the Speyside River. Kristjana worked closely with Royal Salute to create illustrations for a reimagining of the brands prestigious 21 Year Old Scotch range, creating new artwork for the brands Signature Blend, Malts Blend and Lost Blend. The quintessentially British theme behind the brand aligned perfectly with Kristjana’s artwork inspired by the Tower, and the 600 year old Royal Menagerie within. The 21 gun salute fired from the Tower of London on that 1953 day inspired the number of years the whisky aged in the barrel, and still today, it is the only whisky in the world to be aged for a minimum of 21 years. Royal Salute is an extraordinary scotch whisky, made especially to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
