This exceptional 21-Year-Old blend was co-created by Richard Quinn and Royal Salute Master Blender, Sandy Hyslop, during an experimental blending session in Strathisla Distillery, in Scotland. Hand-selecting a range of the finest Scotch whiskies from Braeval, Strathisla and Caperdonich distilleries, together Richard and Sandy crafted a rich, fruity whisky with hints of spice and soft smoke. A reflection of Richard’s personal palate, the blend is balanced and opulent with a remarkable depth of flavour and a lingering finish.

Nose: On the nose, lively touches of exotic mango and banana are complemented by creamy vanilla fudge and cinnamon, with a subtle hint of roasted chestnuts.

Palate: Rich and fruity with accents of sweet strawberry jam, pear and peaches, a touch of honey blossom is subtly balanced by oak spices and a wisp of sweet smoke.

Finish: Smooth and complex with a lingering whisper of smoke.
