Royal Salute builds on a base of extra-aged Speyside and Highland single malts. In this exceptional bottling, that manifests as old leather and polished mahogany on the nose with an intense sweet and spicy palate. Flavours of sultanas, dried figs and nutmeg shine through, along with quince and dates. The finish is bright, with some sugar and pineapple syrup, light oak spice and just a hint of pear drops. Outstanding whisky-making and blending.
