Royal Salute
The long-established and deep relationship between Royal Salute and the ‘sport of kings’, polo, saw the launch of the sixth edition in its renowned Polo Collection in April 2024; the Royal Salute 21 Year Old Miami Polo Edition.
Attended by VIPs, whisky lovers, luxury lifestyle media and polo culture aficionados from five key markets, the launch event took place in Palm Beach, Florida, with the experience including polo clinics hosted by Malcolm Borwick, Royal Salute World Polo Ambassador. Guests also enjoyed a beach party and an exclusive dinner with a tasting to officially launch the new expression, as well as a polo day in support of Sentebale, the charity co-founded by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. The Duke played on the Royal Salute team alongside Malcolm Borwick and, together with two other players, won the champions title.
The Royal Salute 21 Year Old Miami Polo Edition continues the Scotch whisky’s ethos of entering new kingdoms by capturing the culture of emblematic polo locations around the world. Expertly crafted by Royal Salute’s Master Blender Sandy Hyslop to embrace the essence of Miami’s sun-kissed energy, the new expression is superbly smooth with vanilla and coconut notes resonant of the city’s golden beaches, and a subtly spiced finish that evokes warm city sunsets.
Selecting the finest first-fill bourbon and rye casks to finish the special formulation of whiskies aged for a minimum of 21 years allowed us to impart some incredible flavours and emphasise the sweet and spicy notes of the final blend, perfectly nodding to Miami’s vibrant scene.”
