Royal Salute is a brand of Scotch whisky made by Chivas Brothers who is owned by Pernod Richard. It was founded in 1801 in Aberdeen, Scotland. Royal Salute 21 Years was launched on 2nd June 1953 by Chivas Brothers in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her coronation as Queen of England. Royal Salute 21 Years is aged for a minimum of 21 Years and named after the traditional military honour 21-gun salute.

Royal Salute brand is unique in that the youngest expression in its range is the 21 Years. For the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 2002, Royal Salute once again opened its vault to create a 50-year-old whisky for the celebration. Chivas Brothers Master Blender Colin Scott created the Royal Salute Tribute to Honour to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee a decade after the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. 20 Porcelain decanters encrusted with over 400 diamonds were released. In 2015 Chivas Brothers marked yet another royal occasion with the launch of The Royal Salute Age Collection, a limited edition set of 10 blended Scotch whiskies, released to celebrate the Queen’s 63rd year on the throne – the longest reign of any British monarch.
