An extremely luxurious rendition of Chivas Bros. classic blended Scotch whisky, Royal Salute.
Each batch is made with a lot 88 casks, each aged for a minimum of 21 years. Chivas use a kind of solera system which they call “circular blending”, in which an original blend with a powerful signature style is added to an additional 88 casks, which is then bottled, with some of the blend retained for the next batch. The idea is to keep a blend’s core style the same for perpetuity. A fascinating concept and a stupendous blended whisky.
The bottling itself serves up notes of thick ripe tropical fruits, pears, apples, honey, creamy vanilla, toffee, dried fruits, juicy oranges, liquorice, subtle smoked oak, milk chocolate, grain sweetness and malt.
The final product is then bottled in a specially designed flagon that takes six days to make in the traditional method. Each bottle is individually numbered. A product that exudes class in every respect.
