A flagship blended Scotch whisky crafted with heritage and prestige, the Royal Salute 21 Years Old is a distinguished expression that honours tradition while delivering refined sophistication.
✨ Features & Details
Brand / Expression: Royal Salute 21 Years Old
Type: Blended Scotch Whisky
Region / Origin: Scotland
ABV: 40%
Bottle Size: Typically 700 ml
Maturation / Cask Details: Whiskies with a minimum age of 21 years are selected, blended to a high standard of depth and balance.
Status: The foundational age‑statement expression of the Royal Salute portfolio—steeped in history and carried in a signature glazed flagon.
👃 Tasting Notes
Nose: Deep and golden‑amber-hued; aromas of sweet pears and citrus fruits overlay autumnal flower fragrance. A vanilla‑oak backbone with subtle sherry and smoke adds elegance.
Palate: Full and layered, with orange‑marmalade sweetness, fresh pears, a rich medley of spice and toasted hazelnuts. A gentle smoke emerges.
Finish: Long and graceful; lingering oak and dried‑fruit sweetness persist, complemented by refined warmth and subtle dry complexity.
📝 Independent Review Highlights
Praised for its balance: the maturity of 21 years shows through without being overly aggressive—smooth, sophisticated, and polished.
Modern iterations may feel lighter in body compared to older bottlings, highlighting the importance of fill level and vintage in assessing a bottle.
As a blend (rather than single malt), much of its appeal is in presentation, brand story, and craftsmanship rather than dramatic age‑statement extremes.
🎁 Presentation & Collectibility
Ideal For: Celebratory moments, premium gifting, or as a display piece for whisky enthusiasts who appreciate both drinkability and legacy.
Serving Suggestion: Best enjoyed neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass to fully appreciate its aromatic layers and texture. Minimal water may help unlock additional nuance.
Collectible Notes:
Presentation matters: the glazed flagon design, packaging, provenance and condition (seal, fill level, cork integrity) all influence value.
While the 21‑year statement is prestigious, this expression is produced in broader quantity than ultra‑limited releases—collectors should focus on bottle variant (colour, edition, year) and condition for value uplift.
Authentication and market‑variant identification are important, especially when acquired in non‑mainstream markets.
