Royal Salute
celebrates the Sport of Kings with the
release of a its first ever World Polo
limited edition.
Royal Salute is launching its
first-ever World Polo Limited Edition in
celebration of its shared values and
intrinsic links with polo, the ‘sport of
kings’.
The new offering, which contains a
special batch of the legendary Royal
Salute 21 Year Old, is expected to be
highly sought-after by whisky collectors
and connoisseurs around the world when
it launches in markets and global travel
retail from December.
The striking new bottle celebrates the
international footprint of polo,
featuring the names and locations of
various Royal Salute World Polo events,
including: The Royal Salute Polo Cup in
Jeju, Korea; The Maharaja of Jodhpur
Golden Jubilee Cup in Jodphur, India;
The Royal Salute China Open in Bejing,
China; and The Royal Salute Jubilee Cup
in Greenwich, USA. A white "sporting
stripe" emblazoned on the front of the
gift box is an instantly recognisable
design cue that further highlights the
expression’s sporting links and provides
strong on-shelf presence.
Neil Macdonald, Royal Salute Global
Brand Director comments: "With the
expansion of the Royal Salute World Polo
Series and with Facundo Pieres, the
world’s No.1 polo player joining the
team as our global brand ambassador,
Royal Salute’s links with polo are now
stronger than ever. For that reason, we
felt it was extremely fitting for us to
mark Royal Salute’s relationship with
this prestigious sport by launching this
special Limited Edition."
"We’re delighted to be able to offer
Royal Salute fans across the world the
opportunity to own this unique new batch
of our prestigious 21 Year Old, which
our Master Blender, Colin Scott, has
crafted with the utmost care. We believe
this new expression will be a real
collectors’ item and will appeal to our
loyal fans’ passionate connection to
both the brand and its polo
associations. 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. These
factors combined are guaranteed to
create great interest across the globe
this Christmas."
Colin Scott, Master Blender for Royal
Salute, continues: "Creating this whisky
has been a great honour. It has
immeasurable depth with rich aromas and
scents of apples, ripe plums and creamy
toffee with a hint of spiciness and a
long, luxurious finish. It’s an
exquisite taste, for an exquisite sport
– a like-minded union with shared
values."
Royal Salute World Polo Limited Edition
will be rolled out globally from
December 2013 with a RRP of $USD150/£92.
