Immerse Yourself in Scotland's Wilderness: Royal Salute Presents Limited Edition 26 Year Old Scottish Oak Cask Finish Whisky
Renowned Scotch whisky producer, Royal Salute, unveils its latest limited-edition expression - the Royal Salute 26-Year-Old Scottish Oak Cask Finish. This new blend has been fully matured in virgin Scottish oak casks, providing a unique depth of flavour that sets it apart.
Expertly crafted by Royal Salute Master Blender, Sandy Hyslop, the rich new blend harmoniously blends the company's signature style with a distinctive cask finish. With an impressive 26-year maturation period, the whisky offers a symphony of sweet and nutty flavours, accompanied by aromatic notes of toasted oak and subtle spices.
The unique blending process captures the enchantment of the United Kingdom, a land known for its rich heritage, royal traditions, and glorious natural landscapes.
The Royal Salute 26-Year-Old Scottish Oak Cask Finish is housed in a vibrant earthy green flagon, inspired by the natural colours of Scotland. The intricate illustrations adorning the gift box celebrate Scotland's striking landscapes, including the iconic Strathisla Distillery, the heart of Speyside where all the precious Royal Salute blends are stored.
Upon releasing the new blend, Master Blender Sandy Hyslop expressed, "I aimed to encapsulate and balance the robust, distinctive flavours of wild Scottish oak casks into a blend that carries the quality hallmarks of Royal Salute. Working with these precious casks was an extremely meticulous yet exciting task, and adding this rare finish has not only allowed us to release a whisky that offers a whole new dimension for Royal Salute lovers to discover, but also perfectly depicts the captivating and wondrous characteristics of Scotland."
The limited-edition whisky will be available from March 2022 at select luxury retailers worldwide, with an RRP of £290.00.

The unique blending process of the Royal Salute 26-Year-Old Scottish Oak Cask Finish encapsulates the enchanting lifestyle of Scotland, showcasing its rich heritage, royal traditions, and glorious natural landscapes, reminiscent of a travel adventure.
