Royal Salute is a leading prestige Scotch whisky, launched on the 2nd June in 1953 by Chivas Brothers in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her coronation. Queen Elizabeth was presented with the first bottle of Royal Salute, decorated with her royal crest. All Royal Salute whiskies are aged for a minimum of 21 years, which allows the whisky to develop a rich and complex flavour.
