Royal Salute x Kate MccGwire Forces of Nature 53 year old, 41.4%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2023 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
Wide-ranging aromas of dark marmalade, toasted oak, cinnamon, concentrated red berries, sherbet, peach, and caramel. It’s syrupy, with flavors of dark honey, butterscotch, caramel, raisin, baked citrus, raspberry, strawberry, cherry, walnut fudge, and light oak. The finish is drying and supple with citrus peel, rich fruit, and chocolate. British artist Kate MccGwire’s sculpture of pheasant feathers is reflected in the 24-carat gold decoration on each Dartington crystal decanter. (21 bottles)
