Our Kingdom
In 1953, the young Princess Elizabeth ascended the throne. The occasion called for a tribute fit for a queen and so an exquisite blend was created using whisky from Strathisla, the oldest working distillery in the Scottish Highlands.
It was given the name Royal Salute – after the famous 21-gun-salute – and so began the story of a remarkable whisky. It was given the name Royal Salute – after the famous 21-gun-salute – and so began the story of a remarkable whisky.
