Chivas Regal Royal Salute 26 Year Old Kingdom Edition Scottish Oak Cask Finish Scotch Whisky
Royal Salute 26 Year Old Kingdom Edition Scottish Oak Cask Finish is a limited prestige expression from Chivas Brothers — the standard Royal Salute 21-year-plus aged blended Scotch given an additional period of maturation in Scottish oak casks from trees grown in Scotland, adding the distinctive tannin, spice, and green wood character of native Scottish oak to the expression’s rich sherry-influenced base.
Scottish oak is a rare finishing choice — most Scotch whisky uses American or European oak. The Scottish oak adds different tannin and aromatic compounds from native Quercus petraea rather than the standard American Quercus alba or European Quercus robur used in most Scotch maturation. Browse all Scotch whisky at Wooden Cork.
