Royal Salute was launched on 2nd June 1953, as a tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her Coronation Day. The name of this exceptional Scotch Whisky comes from the 21 Gun Royal Salute, which is fired as a mark of respect for powerful dignitaries. This rich & complex whisky is aged for 21 years in oak casks, then bottled in handcrafted British porcelain flagons.
