Royal Salute 21 year old The Lost Blend, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2019 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
Nuts sinking into molten toffee wrapped in pure, sensuous smoke on a foundation of cedarwood, dried fruits, and seasoned oak: as exotic as the box's interior artwork. Sandy Hyslop's multi-phasic blend draws on closed distillery Imperial's trademark fruitiness and peated Caperdonich, while maintaining a steady hand on the balance. Toffee sweetness, mixed peel, pepper, nutmeg, citrus, and smoke. Creamy, satisfying finish with hints of melted chocolate and light smoke. (Travel Retail)
