Elegant spice, treacle toffee, rich sherry oak – with an endlessly complex finish. Matured exclusively in hand-selected sherry casks for a character-building quarter-century. Made in the distillery’s traditional way, with the slowest distillation in Scotland and no peat used in the process.
Nose: Big notes of sherry-soaked fruit up front – raisins, figs and oranges. This is followed by wafts of toasted almonds and classic notes of old leather.
Palate: Vanilla and dark chocolate open up the palate. Sherry comes through yet again, but this time in the shape of rich, well spiced fruit cake. Hints of orange and oak round it off.
Finish: The finish lasts with notes of red fruits and cracked black pepper.

Treacle, flaked almonds, peach iced tea, root beer.
Flavour:
Cola syrup, glacé cherries, strawberry jelly sweets, strawberry laces.

This special edition Royal Salute 21 Year Old Lunar New Year 2025 is more than just a bottle of whisky – it’s a cultural experience that symbolises happiness and wealth in the coming year for the whole family. With an impressive array of symbolic elements such as fireworks and plum blossoms, it pays homage to the joys of the Chinese New Year.
Royal Salute has created a remarkable collaboration with multi-award winning Chinese illustrator Feifei Ruan to interpret the concept of ‘Light the New Year’. Her style uniquely combines imagination, traditional drawing and vibrant colours.
Royal Salute is an exceptional blend of very rare whiskies matured for a minimum of 21 years at Strathisla Distillery, the oldest working Highland distillery in Scotland.
Rich, full-bodied, deep fruity flavours with a subtle smokiness. From the first taste of Royal Salute, aromas of sweet pears and citrus fruits come alive, balanced by a full aroma of autumn flowers. On the tongue, a sumptuous taste of sweet orange and marmalade bursts forth, bursting with fresh pears. The second taste delivers a rich blend of spice and hazelnut flavors that fill the mouth intensely, and then a finishing warmth from hints of smoke.
Finished in a Granada rum cask since 2019, this bottling from Fettercairn distillery features notes of barbecued bananas, pineapple upside down cake and lemon zest.
Fettercairn is a highland distillery sat by the Cairngorm Mountatins.
Given the equipment and production style, it’s easy to see why a firm, relatively heavy, nutty style whisky is created. Furthermore, between 1995 & 2009, the condensers were made of stainless steel, adding a slightly burnt, pot ale character to the new make. However, a cooling ring at the top of the swan neck, spraying cold water down the still sides, helps reflux and guides the spirit towards a lighter profile.
Nose:
Barbecued bananas, mineral notes, pampas grass, sherbert lemons.
Flavour:
Coastal notes, miso, chalk.
Finish:
Pineapple upside down cake, gooseberries, lemon zest.
