Tempting Luxe Whisky Blends Craft and Imagination
The newest addition to Royal Salute’s brand is its 21-year-old Royal Salute x Richard Quinn whisky. The stunning hand-blown crystal decanter from Dartington Crystal is limited to 200 pieces and features Quinn’s hand-painted bold florals and gold leaf detailing. It’s presented in a matching silk pocket square. Every inch of the vessel is a tribute to couture's beauty, craftsmanship, and rarity. The marriage of Scotch whisky maker Royal Salute and British haute couture designer Richard Quinn has created a truly heavenly spirit.
“Combining so many different skills in one place to make something as beautiful as this edition, from the decanter to the silk pocket square and the blend itself, has been a dream for me,” Quinn said.
THE NFT MARKET AND ROYAL SALUTE
Royal Salute x Richard Quinn whisky is available at luxury retailers worldwide for US$12,000, and only 200 decanters have been released. Decanter No. 1, signed by Quinn, is available as an NFT on BlockBar.com, the world’s first direct-to-consumer NFT marketplace for fine wines and spirits. BlockBar works in the new cryptocurrency era by allowing people to enter an online lobby with their virtual wallets, showing they have the funds to purchase the item. From those present, a participant is chosen randomly to “win” the item and is free to keep the product in a wallet for as long as they want, retrieve the item in physical form, store it at a Fort Knox location, or re-sell for financial gain. Only products acquired from well-known brands are on BlockBar, such as Glenfiddich, Patrón, The Dalmore, White x Congniac, and Royal Salute, so their authenticity can be traced to the genuine source. This is another valuable channel for high-net-worth individuals.
THE PROCESS OF MAKING THE ROYAL SALUTE’S WHISKY
Royal Salute’s Master Blender Sandy Hyslop used 31 fine malts—one for each year of Quinn’s age at the time of the blend’s release—resulting in a fruity, fragrant blend. This meticulously intricate process requires a talented master blender to reach the desired profile, harmonizing many malts to create a delicate finish.
Nose – Hints of ripe fruit such as mango, banana, apricot, and orange with a creamy vanilla and a touch of cinnamon spice;
Palate – Luxurious notes of blossom honey complemented by chocolate and hazelnut with a slight oak spice with a subtle smokiness enveloped by flavors of syrup-soaked peaches and smooth cream;
Finish – Rich and long, with enduring honey sweetness.
