A Salute to Royalty

Winter 2020 sees Royal Salute launch an ultra-rare limited edition blend known as The Time Series 52 Year Old Single Cask Finish, meticulously and expertly crafted by Royal Salute Master Blender Sandy Hyslop. Blended in the historic Strathisla Distillery, The Time Series is created in the exacting spirit of Royal Salute?s founding ? befitting of royalty, a tribute to the British monarch and the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
An intense fruity combination of aromas greets its owner when nosed, with ripe plum, toffee red apples and hazelnuts covered in dark chocolate prominent. Out of the 52 years of slow and patient maturation of this liquid gold, the last 14 were spent in a single cask, which gave the whisky a soft and creamy texture. On the palate, pear syrup and hints of licorice enhance flavours of sweet orange marmalade, ginger and scented cloves.
?It?s a personal privilege to create such an outstanding whisky for Royal Salute,? says Hyslop, ?The longer the whisky matures, the more intricate it becomes and with 52 years of ageing, the delicate balance of some of the rarest of our whiskies has created an unrivalled depth of flavour and unbelievably complex characteristic, making for a remarkable expression that perfectly shows that time is a key element of our creations.?
