Royal Salute (whisky) (original) (raw)

Royal Salute is a brand of luxury blended Scotch whisky produced and bottled in Strathisla Distillery in Speyside, Scotland by Chivas Brothers Ltd. Launched on 2 June 1953 in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her Coronation, it has since been known as the whisky 'Created for Celebration'. Named after the ceremonial 21-gun salute that is fired from the Tower of London to mark special royal occasions, Royal Salute whiskies are aged for a minimum of 21 years, making it the only Scotch to begin its collection at exclusively 21 years-old.
