Royal Salute 21 Year Old Sapphire Flagon Blended Scotch Whisky 70cl - RV Drinks

Twenty-one years of maturation was chosen deliberately to echo the twenty-one gun salute, created in 1953 specifically to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and remaining unchanged in blend ever since. Sherry sweetness and dark fruit dominate the nose alongside orange zest, milk chocolate and aromatic oak, developing into a rich, stately palate of Christmas cake, raisin, cocoa and hazelnut, closing on a long, warming finish that fully justifies its regal positioning.
