 |
|
To mark the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, Royal Salute, has introduced a new permanent expression to its range of luxury Scotch whiskies, The Diamond Tribute.
Colin Scott, Master Blender for Royal Salute, commented: "Creating this whisky has been a great honour. It has immeasurable depth with rich aromas of peaches and sweet poached pears complemented by a sensation of sherry, and a wonderful spicy liquorice tang. It has a long, sweet and luscious warmth to finish."
Royal Salute The Diamond Tribute will be rolled out worldwide from July 2013 and will retail at £170/US$270 in Travel Retail.

Sounds marvellous. The Royal Salute 21 has to be the best blend I've tried so far, unfortunately I'll probably not get a chance to compare it with this (a bit beyond my usual budget).

I had wondered why there were three colours, another riddle satisfied!

The Royal Salute 21 is amongst the best whiskies i have tasted blend or single malt. I have a unopened blue sapphire bottle in the cupboard.
As it is a new permanent expression perhaps they will release a miniature of the Royal Salute The Diamond Tribute like they do for the standard Royal Salute 21 year old. |
