Chivas Royal Salute The Peated Blend 21-year-old / 40% / 0.7l

Chivas Royal Salute, a 21-year-old luxury blended whisky, debuted on June 2, 1953 to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

In turn, the Royal Navy gave the new monarch of the British Empire an honorary salute from 21 guns that day. The whisky is presented in stoneware decanters produced by Wade Ceramics Ltd. They are decorated with a lion's head and smoking cannon barrels, which symbolize Scottish heritage. Royal Salute the Peated Blend debuted in 2021 in the Travel Retail offer and immediately won a gold medal at the International Spirit Challenge. In its formula, in addition to Strathisla, Longmorn and Braeval, there was Caperdonich with a smoky and peaty profile.
