Royal Salute is a brand of luxury blended Scotch whisky produced and bottled by Chivas Brothers Ltd in Strathisla Distillery in Speyside, Scotland. Launched on 2 June 1953 in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her Coronation, it has since been known as the whisky 'Created for Celebration'. 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, making it the only Scotch to begin its collection at exclusively 21 years-old. The name Royal Salute was given in the honor of 21 gun salute. RS aka Royal Salute has marked the significant events in the lives of British Monarchy and is unique in having only 21 years of aged whiskies. The exceptionally aged range of casks laid down by Chivas Brothers from Scotland, a blend of whiskies are skillfully married for a blend fit for royalty. History Created as a gift for Queen Elizabeth II to mark her Coronation Day, the brand's history is rooted in the British Monarchy, with many of its later expressions created in tribute to royal milestones. In 2002 a 50-Year-Old whisky was released to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee, in 2011 the "Tribute to Honour" was launched - a series of 21 bottles decorated by jewellers Garrard , and in 2012 was the "Diamond Jubilee", another 21-Year-Old blend which commemorated the 60th Anniversary of her coronation. The first Royal Salute whisky was housed in a green porcelain flagon emblazoned with the Royal Coat of Arms. Since then the 21-year-old blend bottle has been made in several colours including burgundy and brown, with the current and most famous color being Sapphire Blue. The crest on the front of the flagon was also updated to feature Robert The Bruce in 1959, followed by the Royal Salute lion signifier in 2014. Although Royal Salute is a brand rooted in history and tradition, it is working on innovation and new product development. In recent years it has expanded its whisky portfolio to tap into Polo, Fashion and Art through several brand collaborations. With a focus on digital innovation, Royal Salute was the first blended Scotch whisky and oldest whisky brand to launch a non-fungible token on BlockBar.com, the world's first direct-to-consumer NFT marketplace for luxury wine and spirits.
