Royal Salute 2022 Lunar New Year Taiwanese Exclusive Blended Scotch Whisky 23 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with copper-bronze highlights and a burnished mahogany edge, a regal, sun-warmed hue that hints at sherry-matured richness.

Nose

Opulent bouquet of dark fruit—prune, fig, plum—perfumed with rich sherry, toasted almond and vanilla. Velvet toffee and spice—clove, nutmeg—combine with cacao nibs and a touch of espresso. Subtle sandalwood and incense weave an oriental, regal backdrop, with a long, polished aromatic finish.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied, and impeccably balanced, this whisky coats the palate with velvet richness. Dried fruit notes of prune, fig, and raisin mingle with dark chocolate, toffee and a touch of toasted almond from sherry cask aging. Spices—clove, cinnamon, a whisper of white pepper—spark through the oak, finishing long and warm with oriental elegance.

Finish

Silken, enduring finish that unfurls with velvet richness and a warm spice glow. Sherry-driven sweetness lingers with dried fruit, cocoa, and toasted oak, softly tempered by incense-like notes. Regal and refined, it fades to a lasting, luxurious warmth that lingers on the palate.
