Royal Salute
has unveiled The Diamond Tribute to mark
the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation.
 To
mark the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, Royal
Salute, has introduced a new permanent
expression to its range of luxury Scotch
whiskies, The Diamond Tribute.
This unveiling coincided with the 62
round Royal Gun Salute to mark the
coronation of Queen Elizabeth II at HM
Tower of London. Guests of Royal Salute
were in attendance as part of our
long-standing support of Historic Royal
Palaces and The Diamond Tribute was
served at a reception at the Queen’s
House.
The first bottles of Royal Salute were
produced in June 1953 at the time of the
coronation and have since been available
in three different glazes denoting the
rubies, sapphires and emeralds of the
Imperial State Crown.
The Diamond Tribute takes its name from
the most precious of gems and is
in-keeping with the Royal Salute
tradition of expertly blending only the
most precious aged whiskies. The rarest
of these have been selected from the
locked Royal Salute vault at Strathisla
– the oldest working distillery in the
Highlands – where these casks rest under
careful guard and watch until they have
reached a minimum of 21 years of age.
Christian Porta, CEO of Chivas Brothers,
comments: "It is appropriate for Royal
Salute to mark the anniversary of Queen
Elizabeth II’s coronation with the
introduction of The Diamond Tribute. It
is a distinctive whisky that befits the
traditions and values of Royal Salute;
combining age and craftsmanship to
create a Scotch whisky of finesse and
rich complexity."
Colin Scott, Master Blender for Royal
Salute, continues: "Creating this whisky
has been a great honour. It has
immeasurable depth with rich aromas of
peaches and sweet poached pears
complemented by a sensation of sherry,
and a wonderful spicy liquorice tang. It
has a long, sweet and luscious warmth to
finish."
Royal Salute The Diamond Tribute will be
rolled out worldwide from July 2013 and will
retail at £170/US$270 in Travel Retail.
