Royal Salute, Coronation Cask 50 Year Old
Distilled 1953, bottled 2003
In wooden presentation box with sterling silver plaque, with signed letter of authenticity, bottled in blue porcelain decanter, with sterling silver and twenty four carat gold detail
Bottle numbered 247 of 255
Distilled 1953, bottled 2003 Bottle No 247/255, in wooden presentation box with letter of authentification
Tasting note: “A decade ago, I tasted the Royal Salute 40 Years Old. It was probably the finest blend I had ever tasted. Now they have the 50 year-old. And it has ripped up and laughed at every rule in the book: finish apart, it has just got better and better. The most extraordinary thing here is the oak involvement. At 50 years you should be picking it out of your teeth. Not here. Instead, after its appearance on the wonderful nose, it all but vanished. Instead we are left to deal with an essay in balance...a blended whisky showing this degree of balance and élan is truly priceless.” Jim Murray’s Whiskey Bible
