Details
First introduced in 1953—to celebrate the ascension of Queen Elizabeth II to the British throne, the Chivas Royal Salute 21 Year Old derives its name from the 21 rounds gun salute fired as a military honour to the queen—which ties age to this whisky.
It comes in three different decanters: red, blue and green—inspired by the rubies, sapphires and emeralds attached to the queen’s crown—but the spirit is similar.
The Chivas Royal Salute is an excellent choice for whisky lovers that have a thing for smooth blends with a ton of flavours.

Tasting notes
Nose
A pleasant and orange zest smell first hits your nose—as you try to take the first sip. The scent of vanilla, gingerbread, toffee, soft spices, and generous cereals comes crawling after. The aroma of the Chivas Royal Salute is quite mild for a blended scotch that includes “no whisky for people under 21 years."
Taste
The taste of this whisky ties with the nose almost instantly. It hits your palate with a smooth approach before it shifts towards a burnt caramel feel with a little tar. A prickling slightly peppery oak taste clings to your tongue at the second sip. At this time, your mouth will be zinging with exotic spices and tarragon.
Finish
The Chivas Royal Salute is remarkably long for a soft whisky—with a minor oak bitterness, soured wood, mint chocolate, sweet grains, tobacco, and fruity berries finish. The after taste has marzipan and un-roasted peanut flavour you can almost chew. This whisky is so soft that you don’t need water.
