Designed by Sandy Hyslop – Royal Salute’s Master Blender, this blended whisky is designed to be enjoyed for celebrations and on the most special of occasions.
What Hyslop doesn’t know about blending isn’t worth knowing. He hand-selected the finest of blends matured exclusively in American oak casks to produce what many consider to be one of the finest blended grain whiskies on the market today.
At 40% ABV, this blended grain whisky provides an array of exciting, vibrant, bold, invigorating, and moreish notes to the table, marrying up the perfect combination of sweet, woody, smoky, and spicy.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Juicy peach and red apple, sweet honeycomb, creamy vanilla, sugared almonds and a hint of a Spring floral bouquet.

Finish : Smooth and sweet, with enduring honeycomb.
