Tasting note

皇家禮炮21年紅寶石版（1980–90年代）是為慶典與收藏打造的調和威士忌。香氣先是成熟乾果（無花果、葡萄乾、紅櫻桃）的甜美，接著是香草奶油、烤橡木與可可粉的溫暖基調。入口絲滑飽滿：焦糖、紅酒桶般的香料與杏仁／糖粉的堅果感交織，尾韻帶有一絲溫和泥煤與煙燻，餘味悠長且帶微鹹的深度。 酒廠小故事：皇家禮炮由 Chivas Brothers（百加得集團旗下）釀製，21年陳年代表了多款成熟的麥芽與穀物威士忌按比例調配出的平衡與層次。所謂的「紅寶石」風格多來自歐洲雪莉桶的深色與果香影響。 釀造與熟成：酒液在美國橡木與歐洲雪莉桶中長期熟成，讓果乾與香料味道沉澱且集中，後期以調和保存優雅與延展的餘韻。原料源自蘇格蘭冷涼的麥田與潔淨泉水，蒸餾與窖藏間的精細挑選，賦予這款酒厚實卻不笨重的口感。 飲用建議與口感提醒：建議倒入寬口杯靜置約10–20分鐘讓香氣展開。入口圓潤、油性感明顯，甜中帶香料與堅果的層次，尾韻長且溫暖，非常適合搭配黑巧克力或熟成乳酪。

Royal Salute 21YO Red (Ruby) from the 1980s/90s is a ceremonial blended Scotch built for longevity and presence. On the nose it opens with ripe dried fruits—figs, raisin and red cherry—layered over vanilla cream, toasted oak and a hint of cocoa. The palate is smooth and full-bodied: concentrated caramel, sherry‑like spice, nutty marzipan and a polite thread of peat and smoke, finishing long, warm and slightly savoury. Producer notes: Crafted under the Royal Salute label by Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard), this 21-year age‑statement blend brings together older malt and grain whiskies selected for balance and complexity. The “Red/Ruby” character often reflects maturation influence from rich European oak/sherry casks that impart deeper colour and dried‑fruit notes. Winemaking/maturation: Spirit components are matured in a mix of American oak and European sherry casks, allowing concentrated fruit and spice development over two decades. The blending stage harmonises varying casks to achieve a rounded, layered profile while preserving an elegant, long finish. Vineyard/production notes: Though not a wine, the raw materials trace back to barley grown in cool Scottish regions and pure spring water sources; malt profiles span Speyside and Highland styles with carefully selected grain whiskies adding silk and weight. This bottle is best given 10–20 minutes in an open glass to let aromas bloom.
