Royal Salute Whisky
Royal Salute is a brand of Scotch whisky produced by Chivas Brothers (owned by Pernod Ricard), founded in 1801 in Aberdeen, Scotland. The Royal Salute brand's home is Strathisla Distillery at Keith, Moray in Speyside, Scotland. Royal Salute is a prestige Scotch whisky brand. It was launched on 2 June 1953 by Chivas Brothers in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her coronation. Named after the traditional 21-gun salute, all Royal Salute whiskies are aged for a minimum of 21 years, which allows the whisky to develop a rich and complex flavour.
Royal Salute whiskies are typically priced at between $300 and $900. The brand is sold primarily in Asia, Australia, Russia, South America and in duty free shops. Stocks of Royal Salute are limited due to the age of whiskies. For each year of aging of Scotch whisky, about 2% of the whisky evaporates. This portion is known as the "angel's share".

Famous quotes containing the words royal, salute and/or whisky:
“Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.”
—Mary Arrigo (20th century)
“we salute you
season of no bungling”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)
“The whisky on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death;
Such waltzing was not easy.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
