Royal Salute has launched a prestige whisky collection inspired by the 62-gun salute at the Tower of London.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The collection includes Royal Salute 62 Gun Salute Original Reserve, The American Oak Reserve and The Peated Reserve. The whiskies are said to be the \u2018pinnacle\u2019 of the brand\u2019s permanent offering.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Original Reserve was available prior to the collection\u2019s release, however the two other whiskies are new expressions.<\/p>\n

The collection is inspired by the brand\u2019s regal heritage, as well as the 62 Gun Royal Salute, which is fired on state occasions from the Tower of London.<\/p>\n

Royal Salute master blender Sandy Hyslop said: \u201cAs the crowning jewel in Royal Salute\u2019s portfolio, the crafting process behind this collection was lengthy and meticulous until I was absolutely confident we had blends representative of an authentic 62 Gun Salute ceremony.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe collection\u2019s flavour profile is beautifully complex and rounded, connecting all the senses to create a lasting taste experience that reflects the significance of the occasion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Original Reserve\u2019s notes include sweet orange and nutty and oak flavours on the nose, while the palate offers tastes of peach and boiled sweets. This whisky rounds off with vanilla, cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e and cinnamon.<\/p>\n

\"\"

\u2018Reflecting the intensity of the gun salute spectacle\u2019, The American Oak Reserve has notes of vanilla fudge, freshly baked shortbread and genoise sponge on the nose, with hints of hazelnuts, lime zest and toasted oak developing over time. To taste, drinkers may find ripe tropical fruit flavours and a finish that is \u2018long, sweet and complex\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Lastly, the Peated Reserve intends to \u2018capture the subtle smokiness that drifts over the City of London at the conclusion of the salute\u2019.<\/p>\n

Its profile consists of dark cherries and sweet green apples on the nose, which give way to blossom honey and milk chocolate honeycomb, and then on the palate, orange zest and lemon sherbet layered with notes of Jamaican ginger cask and toasted oak. The finish is described as \u2018long and lively\u2019 with \u2018enduring sweet smoke notes\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"

In addition, the whiskies are presented in piano lacquered boxes and decanters that have hues \u2018reflective of precious stones\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Original Reserve (US$3,000) and American Oak Reserve (US$3,300) are available from selected retailers globally and The Whisky Exchange.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Peated Reserve (US$3,300), meanwhile, will initially be a duty free exclusive before being rolled out globally.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The brand recently created a series for travel retail called the Small Batch Collection, which comprises a selection of rare cask-finished whiskies.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
