A powerful tribute to heritage, ceremony and exceptional whisky craftsmanship
Steeped in ceremony and synonymous with royalty, Royal Salute has long stood as a symbol of prestige in the world of Scotch whisky. With its latest unveiling — the 62 Gun Salute Collection — the house pays tribute to one of the British Monarchy’s highest ceremonial honours. Representing the apex of refinement and reverence, this exceptional release celebrates not just tradition, but the grandeur and majesty that come with it — drawing inspiration from the powerful symbolism of the 62-gun salute, reserved for only the most significant royal occasions. With a legacy rooted in honour and ceremony, Royal Salute continues to define what modern luxury in whisky truly looks like.
Comprising a trio of rare, aged Scotch whiskies, the 62 Gun Salute Collection pushes the boundaries of craftsmanship with each expression showcasing more than four decades of whisky-making mastery. From bold, layered flavour profiles to its regal presentation, the collection offers a sensory experience that is both commanding and refined — designed for those who appreciate the extraordinary in every detail.

Three distinct expressions make up the collection, each meticulously crafted by Royal Salute’s Master Blender Sandy Hyslop. The Original Reserve opens with rich notes of ripe peach, sweet orange and boiled sweets, softened by layers of vanilla, crème brûlée and cinnamon, before giving way to a warm, spiced finish. The American Oak Reserve bursts with ripe tropical fruit—pineapple, mango, papaya—enriched with vanilla fudge, butterscotch and a whisper of crystallised ginger, culminating in a sweet, complex finale. Finally, the Peated Reserve, exclusive to global travel retail, balances ripe fruit, honey, and soft bonfire smoke with orange zest, Jamaican ginger cake and a lingering, smoky finish.
