Royal Salute 38 Year Old Stone of Destiny Blended Scotch Whisky

This Royal Salute 38 Year Old takes its name from the legendary Stone of Destiny, one of the most powerful symbols of Scotland's past. For centuries, the Stone has played a powerful role during the enthroning ceremonies of the ancient Kings & Queens of Scotland, as the seat which gave the seal of authority to the new Royal. This age-old tradition carries on today and was last used at the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2nd June 1953 - on the day Royal Salute Scotch Whisky was launched, as a tribute from Chivas Brothers to the New Queen. Today, the Stone of Destiny rests under guard in Edinburgh Castle, together with the Sword of State & the other Honours of Scotland until the next Coronation.

Few other whiskies will be able to match this 38 year old for sheer age and extravagant packaging. It comes in a beautifully handcrafted, granite-like, porcelain flagon that bears a gold-plated stopper reminiscent of the hilt of ancient Scottish swords. Each bottle is beautifully encased in an elegant rich red box with a glossy black finish. 40% Alc./Vol.
