Royal Salute was made in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. A powerful, sophisticated and opulent blend, aged for at least 21 a few years housed inside a classic Wade porcelain flagon, this scotch whisky is named for your tradition from the 21 Gun Salute which is fired with the Tower of London for Royal celebrations.
The 1st sip releases sumptuous sweet orange marmalade flavours infused with fresh pears that burst throughout the tongue. The other brings a wealthy medley of spices along with a nuttiness of hazelnuts with an intensity before finally releasing a warmth with hints of masculine smokiness. Long, sweet and fruity.
Adding water didn’t do anything to enhance this whisky. Not recommended.
In subsequent tastings, the whisky became much tamer. Oxygen is very little friend of the scotch. Some whiskies seem almost impervious to oxidation. The taste continues to be the same after opening.
Soon after, Royal Salute gets more oakey, sweet, smooth, while losing the spiciness and complexity which was initially impressive upon opening.
The Age Statement Illusion
Drinking Royal Salute produces in mind this statement illusion. Whisky companies i would love you to think that older whisky is way better whisky. Definitely not so. Royal Salute is living proof that.
You’re thinking that as you are paying more money with this older whisky it ought to be better, but guess what happens? It’s not better. It’s boring. It cloyingly sweet, yep, it’s. There isn’t much complexity, almost no peat whatsoever and almost no smoke.
Royal Salute is clearly a whisky which is trying to achieve mass appeal (well for anyone masses known as the rich that can afford this pancake syrup). Easy drinking, smooth, sweet and wonderfully packaged in a velvet bag.
