The first release in Royal Salute's Polo series, Royal Salute 21yo The Polo Estancia Edition, celebrates the world's iconic polo destinations, paying homage to Argentina - the home of polo. This 21-year-old blended whisky is crafted by Chivas Brothers Ltd. and finished in Argentinian Malbec casks from Cafayate. The result is a luxurious blend with enticing aromas of raspberries, blackberries, sweet liquorice, and summer berry compote. On the palate, it reveals rich notes of cinnamon, plum jam, dark chocolate, crystallised ginger, and dry oak that linger on the finish.
In 1801, brothers John and James Chivas opened a delicatessen in Aberdeen, Scotland, offering a variety of global delicacies but lacking a whisky that met their high standards. They began creating their own blend, which led to the introduction of Royal Salute on June 2, 1953, to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. This prestigious blend, a mix of grain and malt whiskies aged for at least 21 years, is a tribute to the 21-gun salute fired during royal ceremonies. Presented in an elegant terracotta bottle, the Polo Estancia Edition is the first in a series dedicated to the royal sport of polo and the regions that made it famous, starting with Argentina, the reputed homeland of polo.
