    Royal Salute was developed in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. An effective, sophisticated and opulent blend, aged for not less than 21 many housed in the classic Wade porcelain flagon, this scotch whisky is called for your tradition from the 21 Gun Salute that is fired at the Tower of London for Royal celebrations.

    The initial sip releases sumptuous sweet orange marmalade flavours infused with fresh pears that burst throughout the tongue. The next brings a wealthy medley of spices plus a nuttiness of hazelnuts with an intensity before finally releasing a warmth with hints of masculine smokiness. Long, sweet and fruity.

    Adding water did nothing to further improve this whisky. Not advised.

    In subsequent tastings, the whisky became much tamer. Oxygen isn’t a friend with this scotch. Some whiskies seem almost impervious to oxidation. The taste continues to be same after opening.

    A week later, Royal Salute gets more oakey, sweet, smooth, while losing the spiciness and complexity that has been initially impressive upon opening.

    The Age Statement Illusion

    Drinking Royal Salute produces in mind age statement illusion. Whisky companies would like you to believe that older whisky is better whisky. Not really so. Royal Salute lives evidence that.

    You believe since you are paying more income because of this older whisky it ought to be better, but you know what? It’s not better. It’s boring. It cloyingly sweet, yep, it’s. There isn’t much complexity, almost no peat whatsoever and extremely little smoke.

    Royal Salute is clearly a whisky that is certainly attempting to achieve mass appeal (well for the people masses referred to as rich who can afford this pancake syrup). Easy drinking, smooth, sweet and wonderfully packaged inside a velvet bag.
