Created in collaboration with esteemed fine artist Kristjana S. Williams, the illustration is part of a complete transformation for Royal Salute and a visual embodiment of the colourful, fantastical new direction the Scotch whisky is taking.
For the first time since the brand’s inception in 1953, two new whiskies – The Malts Blend and The Lost Blend – have also been added to the 21 Year Old range. Both have been created by our Master Blender, Sandy Hyslop.
The Malts Blend is the first blended malt from Royal Salute and has been crafted with more than 21 precious single malts, while The Lost Blend has been meticulously crafted to include scarce whiskies from distilleries no longer in production.
The two new additions join The Signature Blend, Royal Salute’s flagship whisky, which was originally created as a gift for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and has been steeped in royalty ever since.
Master Blender, Sandy Hyslop, said of the news: “Royal Salute is the pinnacle of exceptionally aged Scotch whisky, starting where others end at 21 years. The Malts Blend and The Lost Blend join our Signature Blend to bring even more choice for discerning whisky aficionados looking for an outstanding whisky experience.
The elegant blends are each housed in beautifully crafted porcelain flagons, glazed in individual hues inspired by the precious stones set within the Imperial State Crown: a sapphire flagon for The Signature Blend, an emerald flagon for The Malts Blend and an obsidian flagon for The Lost Blend.
