Royal Salute 21 Years Blended Scotch Whisky, 70 cl with Gift Box

Product Information

While at first glance fashion and spirits might not seem the most likely of pairings, Quinn’s label and the whisky company share more in common than one might think. Between a focus on craft, emphasis on designing with intent, and ability to curate an entire world surrounding a product, their design processes and creative endeavours are rooted in the same principles. For a brand that has been built on authenticity and connection, finding partnerships that feel genuine and in line with his values is crucial to Quinn — and this might be the best fit yet. This dedication is not unlike his typical clients, whose positive reaction is always a highlight of his presentations. “I really like when people come to the show who we know like the collections. It’s quite exciting when we have private clients and people who write about us that we know like us. We’re quite good friends with our clients and all the people that we work with, so it’s just quite nice to see everyone. It’s fun. Obviously, we’re open to critique and we don’t like to censor anyone, but I often compare a fashion show to a party. Would I want this person at my birthday?” Royal Salute is a blended Scotch whisky brand produced and bottled by Chivas Brothers in Strathisla Distillery [1] in Speyside, Scotland. [2] It was launched on 2 June 1953 in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her Coronation. [3] Named after the ceremonial 21-gun salute that is fired from the Tower of London to mark special royal occasions, Royal Salute whiskies are aged for a minimum of 21 years, [4] making it the only Scotch to begin its collection at exclusively 21 years-old.

Royal Salute is unique in that the youngest ‘entry-level’ expression in its range is 21 years old. Since its launch Royal Salute has always been bottled in coloured ceramic decanters, the first of which was green, and made by Royal Doulton. It initially featured the Royal Coat of Arms, which was later replaced by the Chivas Brothers crest depicting Robert the Bruce. And the response has been astounding. As his second collaboration with Royal Salute, Quinn knew a bit of what to expect from collectors and fans alike – but tells me that with this edition, which they pushed even further than the last, the reaction has been one of his favourite parts of the collaboration. “I’m really enjoying seeing how print can be applied and seeing my work in a different context and all that, but actually meeting the people that are so into it and are collecting them is quite cool.”Wealthy consumers in Asia have been key to its success, and the brand is a major polo sponsor. Its spiritual home of the brand is Strathisla in Keith, and select casks have been put aside in the Royal Salute Vault atthe distillery to mark future celebrations. In 2002 whisky was drawn from the stash to produce Royal Salute 50-year-old for the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. Royal Salute 62 Gun Salute - This is a blend of whiskies by each of the four Master Blenders since the brand was created in 1953. The blends have been passed down to the current day. All the blends in the Royal Salute 62 Gun Salute are aged for at least 40 years. This was launched in 2010.

Older releases have included a 40-year-old bottled in a red Baccarat bottle to mark the Queen’s 40th anniversary, the 50-year-old Coronation Cask, and the 45-year-old Tribute to Honour.

The brand's distillery and visitor centre are at the Strathisla distillery, located in Speyside. The distillery was founded in 1786, and it is the oldest working distillery in the Highlands of Scotland. [5] [6] The Strathisla distillery is owned by Chivas Brothers, and Strathisla Single Malt is one of the malt whiskies used within the Royal Salute blend. Showered with royal warrants since 1843, Chivas Brothers has more than returned the favour with Chivas Regal and a bevy of other blends with the word ‘royal’ in the title. Of these, the most prestigious is Royal Salute, launched in 1953 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. A brown decanter was introduced in the 1950s but was discontinued in 1991. Other colours, all containing the same 21-year-old blend, have included blue (first introduced in 1960), and burgundy, which first arrived in 1985.

Nose: Entirely pleasant – orange peels, grapefruit and honeycomb come together with some older aromas of leather armchairs, dusty books and brass polish. Deeper, some nuttiness (hazelnut) and light chocolate, alongside both cinnamon and ginger spicing. There’s something slightly Japanese-esque here - incense, or sandalwood – it’s light, but perceptible nonetheless. A few drops of water (take care, this drowns easily) adds both biscuit and gentle earthy mushrooms. Today the Royal Salute also includes the Eternal Reserve, Diamond Tribute, 38 Years Old Stone of Destiny, and 62 Gun Salute. Chivas’s Royal Salute 21 year old has been around for quite some time – 1953 to be precise. Introduced to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, the name derives from a gun salute – a barrage of cannons or artillery fired as a military honour. The ‘basic’ salute is 21 rounds (which ties rather nicely to the age of this particular whisky) fired at 10 second intervals. Though in certain locations (Royal Parks, London’s Tower of London etc) extra rounds are fired, meaning that for something as significant as a royal coronation, both 41 and 62 gun salutes would take place.

With an attention to building out an entire world with each collection, from the music selected to the smell that the team infuses into a space, it is no wonder that taste would be a natural next step for Quinn. So, when Royal Salute attended one of his shows and later sent over a box, the designer instantly started brainstorming ways to make the collaboration a success. “Usually you see the colour of whisky, but they have this really nicely crafted ceramic flagging that was basically a blank canvas we could do anything to. It was an open-ended creative project,” he explains. “It was one of those things where it was just a question of, how can we work together and how could this make sense?” Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.

Riding the high of his profound Spring/Summer 2024 collection, London-based designer Richard Quinn has teamed up with luxury Scotch whisky brand Royal Salute for a collaboration that truly brings out the best in both brands. As part of Royal Salute’s expanding Fashion Collection, the unveiling of the Royal Salute 21 Year Old Richard Quinn Edition II marks the second year of partnership between the two – a collaboration that reflects the highest level of cutting-edge creativity and technical excellence across the two industries. Blended by Master Blender Sandy Hyslop and Quinn himself, the limited edition expression is presented with a beautifully designed six-piece collection that features three enthralling, recognisable prints. From inside to out, this is certainly a collector’s dream. At her coronation, Queen Elizabeth II’s crown was set in rubies, sapphires and emeralds. Taking inspiration from her crown, Chivas Brothers came up with three versions of the Royal Salute 21 to put into beautiful handcrafted flagons, namely the Sapphire Flagon Old Bottle , the Emerald Flagon and Royal Salute 21 Years Old Ruby Flagon . Throughout the years, different brand expressions of the Royal Salute have been produced, including:
