Royal Salute 21 year old The Miami Polo Edition, 40%

Price: 250 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

Perfect over ice for lazy hot days on the beach, the aromas revolve around caramel, vanilla, dry spices, creamy coconut, and burlap, plus some honey and oak shavings. Melon and vanilla on the palate, with robust spiciness under the tongue, sliding into honey-baked pastries with toasted rye grain, and a finish of honey biscuits and mint leaf. This is creamy but substantial and offers plenty of spice and depth.
