Royal Salute 25 year old The Treasured Blend, 40%

Cherry pound cake, ground almond, and light vanilla, with delicious layers of sherryand top notes of acacia honey on the nose. Surprisingly nimble on the palate, withapple, waves of sherry, black cherry jelly, and a gentle buildup of spice, then caramel,dark sugar, vanilla, and red apple in later phases, though it is still light on its feet. Asmooth clean finish propels more vigorous spice notes across the palate. (TravelRetail exclusive)
