Royal Salute 21 year old Rio de Janeiro Polo Edition, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2025 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
Inspired by Brazil, a portion of this blend is aged in first-fill Braeval Distillery whisky casks to add fragrant floral notes. The nose brings fresh-cut grass, florals, caramel, bright herbal notes, shredded coconut, mint leaf, and lime zest. Smooth and honeyed on the palate, it revolves around sweetened coconut, granola, vanilla, cinnamon cookies, salted caramel, and baked fruits, with a creamy sweet finish of Biscoff, mint, and spices.
