Royal Salute 30 Year Old "Key To The Kingdom" is an exquisite whisky that embodies luxury and heritage. Bottled in 2022 by Chivas Brothers Ltd, the Scotch whisky arm of Pernod Ricard - the world's second-largest drinks company, this 500ml (50cl) bottle boasts an ABV of 40%. Chivas Brothers has a storied history, beginning as an Aberdeen grocer and wine merchant in the 1840s, later gaining Royal Warrants and establishing itself as a renowned whisky broker and blender. The iconic Chivas Regal brand made its debut in 1909, marking its place in the hearts of whisky enthusiasts worldwide. This new expression from Royal Salute celebrates its deep-rooted connection to the British monarchy, taking inspiration from the annual Ceremony of the Keys held in Edinburgh. This 30-year-old blend captivates with its rich and nuanced flavor profile. On the nose, it delivers an enchanting blend of tarte Tatin, blood orange, and a whisper of subtle peat smoke. The palate is a harmonious medley of rhubarb, cinnamon, smoked peach, pear, and apple, accented by delicate notes of caramel. The finish lingers gracefully with traces of caramel, cinnamon, peat smoke, and apple, leaving a lasting impression. Encased in an elegant presentation box, the bottle weighs approximately 1.25kg, making it an ideal gift for collectors or those seeking to indulge in a piece of whisky history.
