WH-CH-007 Royal Salute 21 years old set

🥃 Royal Salute 21 Years Old – Set / Gift Edition

This edition of the Royal Salute 21 Years Old whisky comes as a “set” or gift pack version — typically including the flagship 21‑year bottle plus extras (miniature‑bottles, decanter, presentation box, or accessories). It’s designed for gifting, display, or collectors rather than just the single bottle alone.

✨ Features & Details

• Brand / Expression: Royal Salute 21 Years Old – Set / Gift Edition

• Type: Blended Scotch Whisky (Age statement: 21 years)

• Region / Origin: Scotland

• ABV: 40%

• Bottle Size: Commonly 700 ml for the full‑size bottle; the set may also include one or more mini bottles (e.g., 50ml) or a special decanter. For example: a set of “3 x 5cl miniatures + one full size”.

• Maturation / Cask Details: A blend of whiskies matured at least 21 years, housed in the iconic Wade ceramic flagon style or a special packaging variant.

• Status: Premium gift edition / collector set within the Royal Salute line — higher perceived value due to packaging, extras and presentation.

👃 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich orchard fruits (pear, apple), honey, vanilla, some toasted oak and mild floral hints.

• Palate: Smooth and layered; caramel, dried fruits (apricot, raisins), toasted nuts, gentle spice and oak integration.

• Finish: Long, warm and refined; lingering oak and sweet fruit notes, subtle dryness or smoke depending on variant.

📝 Independent Review Highlights

• Sets are often chosen for presentation and gifting potential — reviewers note the added value of the miniatures or decanter rather than major changes to the liquid itself.

• Thought of as a premium “gift‑format” version of the standard 21 Years offering — so collectors looking for packaging variety especially value them.

• Some feedback: while the whisky itself remains robust, the premium is often more for packaging and brand than for significantly better flavour compared to the base version.

🎁 Presentation & Collectibility

• Ideal For: Gift giving, special occasions (celebrations, milestones), or display in a whisky collection.

• Serving Suggestion: Best enjoyed neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass; the full set format makes for a memorable unboxing and tasting experience.

• Collectible Notes:

  • The set nature (mini bottles, decanter, special box) increases appeal over the standard single bottle.

  • Condition is important: keep original box, ensure mini bottles are unopened, full fill levels, cap/seals intact.

  • Packaging variants (e.g., Colour variants, region‑specific boxes, limited edition artwork) may increase rarity and value.

  • Because this is still a blended age‑statement and many sets exist, value is moderate compared to ultra‑limited single malts—but sets can still serve as statement pieces in a collection.
