Description

Royal Salute 21 Year Old Richard Quinn Daisy Edition is a strikingly artistic and collectible expression of the storied Royal Salute 21 Year Old blended Scotch. It combines the hallmark elegance, depth, and smoothness of the core 21-year maturation with a visually stunning, limited-edition presentation designed in collaboration with fashion and art visionary Richard Quinn. This release is crafted for both whisky lovers and collectors who appreciate beauty as much as balance and complexity in their spirits. Origins & Craftsmanship Royal Salute is the prestige blended Scotch whisky range from Chivas Brothers, rooted in centuries of Speyside blending tradition. The signature 21 Year Old expression is constructed from a curated selection of malt and grain whiskies, each matured for at least 21 years in oak casks before marriage. The result is a whisky with refined structure, layered flavors, and remarkable smoothness — a luxurious embodiment of age and balance. The Richard Quinn Daisy Edition stems from a collaboration between Royal Salute and Richard Quinn, a British fashion designer known for bold prints, floral motifs, and expressive creative energy. For this edition, Quinn’s artistic vision is reflected in the bottle and packaging design, giving the whisky a distinctive aesthetic that celebrates both whisky tradition and contemporary art.
