Royal Salute 21 Year
Chivas Regal 21yo was blended to commemorate the queen’s coronation. This exceptionally rich and complex blend is aged for 21 years in oak casks, the color is amber and the odor is meaty with hints of sherry. On the palate, it has a persistent oaky taste.
Produced in Strathisla Scotland in the highlands, it was in 1801 when the Chivas brothers open their first shop where they sold gourmet food and drink from around the world to the European elite. They soon gained a reputation as a supplier for good and malt whiskeys. In 1843, James and John Chivas were awarded by Queen Victoria to supply goods to the royal house. It wasn’t until the 1850’s that they saw an opportunity to create a style of whiskey using combining soft grain Whiskey and robust single malts to create balanced and smooth blend scotch whiskies. In 1909 the Chivas brother’s whiskey was in high demand, but then prohibition hit and the whiskey went out of production, making their 25-year-old blend become a rare collector’s item. In the 1950s the 12-year-old Chivas Regal blend was introduced to America and won their hearts overnight. Chivas Regal Royal Salute was launched on 2nd June 1953, Coronation Day, as a tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The name of this quality blend comes from the 21 gun salute, which is fired as a mark of respect for powerful dignitaries. This exceptionally rich and complex master blend is aged for 21 years in oak casks before being bottled in porcelain flagons. In 1997 master blender Colin Scott created the multi-award-winning new blend; Chivas Regal 18yo gold signature blend. Each whiskey used in this blend has been aged for 18years creating a deep complex and exceptionally rich blend. In 2001 Chivas Regal was bought by the Pernod Ricard group but they kept master blender Colin Scott to keep the quality of the blend and exceptional taste. In 2007 the 25yo blend came back into production.
