Royal Salute 21 Year The Signature Blend

Very sweet on the nose, notes of citrus fruits and butterscotch. The palate is equally sweet, rich caramel and dark molasses give way to a silky smooth finish of tobacco flavors and smoke.

Could've used a cube, but smoother finish even neat. Not too flavorful on the tongue

mild dry fruits on the nose. some acrid burn on the palate, long finish without any distinctive tones

Found an unopened bottle from somewhere in the 1980s in my Dad’s stash. Less common brown flagon. Cork crumbled on opening, had to pry it out and then filter out the pieces with cheesecloth. Definitely a different kind of drink. I’m a bourbon guy, so this was quite sweet. Honey, molasses, fruit (raisins?), followed by wood. No real burn at all. This might be too cloyingly sweet for me, but I’ll be sure to keep coming back and trying it over time.
