Royal Salute is a blended Scotch whisky brand produced and bottled by Chivas Brothers in Strathisla Distillery[1] in Speyside, Scotland.[2] It was launched on 2 June 1953 in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her Coronation.[3] Named after the ceremonial 21-gun salute that is fired from the Tower of London to mark special royal occasions, Royal Salute whiskies are aged for a minimum of 21 years,[4] making it the only Scotch to begin its collection at exclusively 21 years-old.
