Royal Salute 62 Gun Salute The American Oak Reserve, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2024 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
White pepper, marzipan, red apple peels, oak shavings, vanilla sugar, and dried lime disc; the nose is complex here, but takes a while to fully reveal its charms. This blend has well-evolved fruit flavors on the palate, with dried mango, blackberry, papaya, and passion fruit, plus clove and Cola Cubes, yielding to soft butterscotch, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and a short finish of candied ginger.
