53-YEAR-OLD

Time Chamber
by Conrad Shawcross

In the magnificent second edition of The Art of Wonder,
Royal Salute is proud to collaborate with
critically acclaimed British artist Conrad Shawcross,
to produce an ultra-limited-edition collector’s item inspired
by his unique perspective on our illustrious aged whiskies.

Celebrating the parallels between
art & whisky

Conrad Shawcross has had a deep fascination with the concept of Time for over two decades, interrogating how time and space are interwoven through his complex and mesmerising mechanical structures. Naturally, the concept of Time within the world of whisky was the area he chose to explore for his Royal Salute collaboration.

A blend of the most precious whiskies in the Royal Salute collection aged for an astonishing 53 years, Royal Salute Time Chamber by Conrad Shawcross is a whisky of exquisite distinction. The 53-year-old age statement is a tribute to the year in which Royal Salute was first created, 1953, as a gift for Queen Elizabeth II on her coronation day.

Tasting notes

NOSE

An immediately fruity nose revealing notes of rich plums, juicy pineapple and fresh mandarines, combined with lavish notes of white chocolate, maple syrup and orange zest.

PALATE

The palate deepens the symphony of fruit sensations, with juicy blueberries, sweet red apples, poached plums and homemade apricot jam that give way to complex constructions of rich toffee, homemade shortbread, roasted almonds and spicy stem ginger.  

FINISH

Remarkably long with a subtle hint of spice.

Each of the 21 pieces in the Royal Salute Time Chamber by Conrad Shawcross collection feature a magnificent hand-spun glass disk connected to a crystal decanter and oak spindle that pierces the centre of the disk.

The construction of the piece represents ‘a vector of time’ that implies strong directionality, a way for Shawcross to demonstrate how Time simultaneously operates in many ways.

At its most fundamental, Shawcross’ work is meant to help us shift our perspectives around time. Instead of perceiving it as an intangible phenomenon dictating our daily lives, we should understand that Time also shapes our physical universe.
