Royal Salute The Sapphire Flagon Blended Scotch Whisky (1980's Bottling) 21 Year Old

Colour

Rich amber with copper-bronze hues and a warm ruby glow.

Nose

A velvet bouquet of polished oak and sherry notes, with honeyed apricot, orange zest, and dried fig. Vanilla and almond mingle with dark cacao, gentle spice, and sandalwood, a delicate touch of tobacco adding refined depth.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied and elegantly sweet, this 21-year-old blends envelop the palate with dried fruit, fig and raisin, brushed with dark chocolate, toffee and vanilla. Sherry lift lends a nutty, cocoa-rich core, while oak spices—cinnamon and clove—linger. A refined, persistent finish of velvet warmth.

Finish

Long, opulent finish unfolds in velvet waves, where sherried dark fruit, fig and raisin mingle with toasted oak and cacao, lifted by orange zest and spice, then slowly fades to a warm, polished glow of tobacco and leather.
