Royal Salute 21 Yrs
Royal Salute4.7(480 reviews)
Royal Salute 21 Yrs (Signature Blend) is an extraordinary, prestige blended Scotch whisky crafted by Chivas Brothers in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. Composed of rare whiskies sourced from Scotland's finest distilleries—with the elegant Strathisla single malt at its heart—every single drop is aged for at least 21 years. It opens with an opulent nose of sweet pears, ripe plums, and warm sherry spice, followed by a velvety-smooth palate of sweet orange marmalade, rich milk chocolate, and toasted hazelnuts. The experience concludes with a breathtakingly long, warm, and satisfying finish with an echo of delicate sweet peat smoke. Presented in its iconic handcrafted porcelain flagon.

“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Gomti Nagar and picked up Royal Salute 21 Yrs. At ₹11,420 in Lucknow, this represents incredible value. The notes of Ripe orchard pears and sweet plums and Rich milk chocolate and hazelnuts pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Galouti Kebab. Highly recommended!”
