Royal Salute LXX Black Flagon Blended Scotch Whisky (1980's Bottling) 21 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with sunlit copper highlights and a whisper of mahogany at the edge, a warm, bronzed glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry-soaked aroma with dark fruit dominating: raisin, fig, date, and cherry, brightened by orange zest. Rich cocoa and almond paste mingle with vanilla, while leather, toasted oak and a whisper of spice—cinnamon and clove—add depth, polish, and a resinous warmth.

Palate

Silky and elegant, this 21-year-old blend unfurls with sherry-influenced fruit—raisins, fig, and dried orange—paired with dark chocolate and toasted almond. Velvet vanilla and polished oak carry notes of clove and nutmeg, weaving through a refined spice core. The finish is long and balanced, with gentle sweetness and a whisper of tobacco.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish infused with sherry-soaked fruit, dark chocolate, and toasted almond. Prunes and fig linger with wisps of spice, while elegant oak and a touch of leather warm the palate, tapering to a velvety, softly drying finale.
