Royal Salute was created in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. An effective, sophisticated and opulent blend, aged for a minimum of 21 many housed in the classic Wade porcelain flagon, this scotch whisky is known as for the tradition of the 21 Gun Salute that is fired in the Tower of London for Royal celebrations.

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

Adding water did nothing to boost this whisky. A bad idea.

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

Soon after, Royal Salute gets to be more oakey, sweet, smooth, while losing the spiciness and complexity that’s initially impressive upon opening.

Age Statement Illusion

Drinking Royal Salute provides mind this statement illusion. Whisky companies would love you to think that older whisky is better whisky. Not really so. Royal Salute is living proof that.

You’re thinking that because you are paying more cash just for this older whisky it needs to be better, but guess what? It’s not better. It’s boring. It cloyingly sweet, yep, it really is. There isn’t much complexity, almost no peat whatsoever and extremely little smoke.

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