Royal Salute was created in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. A strong, sophisticated and opulent blend, aged for no less than 21 many housed in a classic Wade porcelain flagon, this scotch whisky is known as for the tradition from the 21 Gun Salute that’s fired at the Tower of London for Royal celebrations.
The initial sip releases sumptuous sweet orange marmalade flavours infused with fresh pears that burst over the tongue. The 2nd brings a refreshing medley of spices plus 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 improve 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 flavor continues to be same after opening.
Soon after, Royal Salute grows more oakey, sweet, smooth, while losing the spiciness and complexity that’s initially impressive upon opening.
Age Statement Illusion
Drinking Royal Salute brings to mind the age statement illusion. Whisky companies would love you to believe that older whisky is way better whisky. Not necessarily so. Royal Salute lives evidence of that.
You’re thinking that since you are paying more income with this older whisky it should be better, but guess what? It’s not better. It’s boring. It cloyingly sweet, yep, it’s. There isn’t much complexity, virtually no peat whatsoever and extremely little smoke.
Royal Salute is clearly a whisky that is certainly trying to achieve mass appeal (well for anyone masses referred to as rich who is able to afford this pancake syrup). Easy drinking, smooth, sweet and wonderfully packaged in the velvet bag.
