Celebrating the Coronation of King Charles III with a $25,000 Whisky
As England prepares to welcome a new king, the world of whisky is also getting a new addition - a limited edition scotch fit for kings and queens, and those with a taste for the finer things in life. Royal Salute is releasing its Coronation of King Charles III Edition, a $25,000 blended scotch that is truly regal.
A fitting tribute to the new king
The story of Royal Salute began 70 years ago, when it was created to honor the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The 21-year-old whisky was a 21-gun salute to the new monarch. This new expression, however, is the work of master blender Sandy Hyslop, who blended together 53 malt and grain whiskies - a nod to the year 1953, when the whisky was first released. The King Charles III has no age statement, but was finished for two years in a first fill sherry cask.
The Coronation of King Charles III Edition
The new expression comes in a stunning blue Dartington Crystal decanter, inspired by the Imperial State Crown. The bottle is housed in a wooden box inspired by the design of Westminster Abbey, and features artwork modeled after the crests of each country that makes up the UK. According to the brand, tasting notes include currants, dark chocolate, and roasted chestnuts on the palate, followed by sweet figs, ginger, and spice on the finish.
The inspiration behind the packaging
There are only 500 bottles available, with just 56 coming to the U.S. If you’re looking to celebrate the coronation in style, this might be the perfect addition to your whisky collection.
“The Coronation of King Charles III Edition is a fitting tribute to the new king, and a testament to the craftsmanship of our master blender.” - Royal Salute
