ROYAL SALUTE
“At Royal Salute we live and breathe exceptional Scotch whiskies – and our Blending Team have once again excelled with the creation of the new Polo Estancia Edition. Incorporating a Malbec wine finish is a task that requires constant care and attention, and it has not only allowed us to give the blend a new dimension, but also helped to tell the multifaceted story of Argentina’s polo lifestyle. It is a unique whisky with Royal Salute’s signature style, plus an added modern twist - satisfying our local fans and helping us reach a new generation of whisky lovers.”
MATHIEU DESLANDES, GLOBAL MARKETING DIRECTOR, ROYAL SALUTE
In April 2021, Royal Salute honoured the ‘Sport of Kings’ with the release of a limited-edition blend, the 21 Year Old Polo Estancia Edition. Launched as part of the Royal Salute Polo Collection, it’s the first of a new line of inspiration, which celebrates iconic polo destinations around the world. This unique expression pays tribute to the emblematic home of modern polo, Argentina, by being fully finished in Malbec wine casks. A skilful fusion of Royal Salute’s renowned signature style with a contemporary finish, the whisky comes in the brand’s recognizable handcrafted porcelain flagon with gold details, in a terracotta colour inspired by the warm hues cast by Argentinian sunsets. Described as a ‘tantalising blend’ by Royal Salute World Polo Ambassador Malcolm Borwick, the Polo Estancia Edition reflects the brand’s long-standing affinity with the sport’s values of honour, skill, integrity and respect.
