Royal Salute was born in tribute to a coronation, a whisky crafted to honor royalty, precision, and time itself. The 21 Year Old Blended Grain takes that legacy in a new direction: softer, silkier, and shaped entirely by the elegance of long-aged grain whisky. Opening the bottle feels like stepping into a royal banquet hall lit by chandeliers, where polished oak, fine desserts, and quiet luxury fill the air.

Royal Salute 21 Year Old Blended Grain
Brand: Royal Salute | Category: Blended Grain Scotch Whisky | ABV: 40% | Origin: Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Vanilla custard, sweet pastries, coconut cream, soft oak, and gentle citrus, like walking past a dessert trolley in a grand dining room.
Palate: Silky, sweet, and remarkably refined. Notes of caramel, honeyed grain, orchard fruit, toasted coconut, white chocolate, and delicate spice glide with polished smoothness. Grain whisky aged for two decades creates a texture that feels almost creamy.
Finish: Long, gentle, and luxurious with lingering vanilla sweetness, soft oak, and warm spice.

Production Details:
Crafted exclusively from grain whiskies aged for a minimum of 21 years, the blend showcases a side of Scotch known for elegance rather than power. Extended maturation softens the spirit, giving it buttery texture and a dessert-like profile. Royal Salute’s master blenders select rare casks that deliver purity, finesse, and a whisper of oak structure, a hallmark of long-aged grain whisky.

Perfect For:
Celebrations, gifting, refined gatherings, or evenings when you want a whisky that feels luxurious without overwhelming the palate. Perfect for those who love smooth, polished, dessert-forward spirits.

Expert Notes:
Critics praise this expression for its satin-like texture and sophisticated sweetness. It is often highlighted as one of Royal Salute’s most elegant releases, a showcase of how exceptional aged grain whisky can be.

Customer Reviews:
“Incredibly smooth. Like drinking silk.”
“Vanilla, cream, and gentle spice, beautiful balance.”

Interesting Fact:
Grain whisky matures differently from malt, after two decades, it becomes exceptionally smooth and sweet, making it ideal for luxury blends like this one.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat to appreciate full creaminess. A splash of water opens coconut and citrus notes. Over a large ice sphere, it becomes softer, sweeter, and even more dessert-like.

Distillery Background:
Royal Salute was created in 1953 to honor the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, and it has remained dedicated exclusively to long-aged whisky ever since. Every expression begins at 21 years and ascends into rare, ultra-luxury territories. The Blended Grain edition expands the brand’s royal portfolio with a lighter, silkier interpretation of its classic grandeur.
