ROYAL SALUTE 26 YEARS OLD KINGDOME EDITION - COLHEITA PORT CASK FINISH

Royal Salute 26 Years Kingdom Edition Colheita Port + GB 40% is a limited-edition blended Scotch whisky that celebrates the final release in Royal Salute’s Majestic Kingdom Collection. Matured for 26 years and finished in rare Colheita Port casks from Portugal’s Douro Valley, it combines the rich tradition of Scottish whisky with the complexity of aged fortified wine. On the nose, it offers aromas of stewed pears, summer berries, spiced orange, glazed cherries, fig jam, marzipan, cinnamon sweets, and nutmeg. The palate is layered and elegant, revealing blueberries, orchard fruits, toasted hazelnuts, orange peel zest, creamy toffee, and warming spices like ginger and cardamom. The finish is long, sweet, and subtly dry, with lingering fruit and spice notes that reflect the Port cask influence. Housed in a striking cobalt ceramic flagon, this expression is a luxurious choice for sipping neat and a prized addition for collectors and special occasions.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Opulent nose of ripe red berries—raspberry, black cherry—with a lift of fig and plum from the Colheita Port finish. Warm spice hints of cinnamon and ginger intertwine with a ribbon of dark chocolate, velvet oak, and caramel sweetness, delivering a regal, alluring bouquet..

Taste: Silky and opulent on the palate, a velvet mouthfeel carrying ripe berry notes—raspberry, fig, blackcurrant—woven with warm spice: cinnamon, clove, nutmeg. Port-touched sweetness adds depth and a touch of toffee, while toasted oak and cocoa lend structure. A long, refined finish with lingering berry-spice warmth.

Finish: Port-cask finish, persisting with lush berry sweetness—raspberry, blackberry, fig—layered with warm spice. Cinnamon and clove drift over velvety oak, leaving a long, elegant warmth that lingers sweetly and softly fades into a refined, Port-touched fruit orchard.
