The art of symbolic and extravagant gifting has cemented its place in the British royal tradition. After all, it’s intrinsic to their rich and varied customs, and rightfully so — a gift serves to be the ultimate memento of respect. The makers of Royal Salute 21 successfully captured the essence of this legacy by crafting an exceptional blend to honor Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation in 1953 — a tribute fit for a Queen. Ever since, their blends have known no bounds.
Long synonymous with true opulence, distinctive quality, and unparalleled luxury, the Royal Salute 21 is a rich, ambrosial spirit known to engage royal tastes and is a traditional sign of respect at Royal occasions. The crowning glory of their lauded portfolio of royal bottlings is their illustrious legacy of paying homage to the Queen. To this day, the Royal Salute has graced every significant event in the lives of the British Monarchy — a visionary engagement further commemorated with the launch of the Royal Wedding Edition at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Owing to the label’s distinguished legacy, Royal Salute undeniably adds grandeur to the gifting experience — from its refined blends to exquisitely crafted flagons, Royal Salute has time and again demonstrated why it’s the king of all gifts for celebratory moments.
