Chivas Brothers Royal Salute 38 Years Old Scotch Whisky
(700ML)
-
STONE OF DESTINY
This
Royal Salute 38 Years Old takes its name from the
legendary Stone of Destiny, one of the most powerful
symbols of scottish heritage.
For
centuries, the Stone of Destiny 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. The Stone of Destiny
was last used at the Coronation of Her Mahesty 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 - a symbol of the proud scottish
spirit ~ rests under guard in Edinburgh Castle, together
with the Sword of State & the other Honours of
Scotland until the next Coronation.

Royal
Salute 38YO: The Stone of Destiny is named after a
legendary symbol signifying the pride of Scottish
people. The Stone of Destiny has been the stone used
for British royal coronation ceremonies for centuries,
symbolizing the approval for the incoming king.
It
boasts a rich, luxurious taste that comes only from
the best quality, blended from selected rich and strong
whiskies. The pinnacle of the Royal Salute range features
cedar-wood and crushed almond characters, with a sherried
oakiness.
Royal
Salute 38YO comes in a beautifully handcrafted, granite-like,
porcelain flagon that bears a 24-carat gold-plated
stopper reminiscent of the hilt of ancient Scottish
swords. Each flagon is beautifully encased in an elegant
rich red box with a glossy black finish. It is also
the first whiskey with a lock on the box, which opens
from the top to convey a more luxurious image. It
will be offered at approximately 1.7 million won
(USD1,800) per bottle, the most expensive whisky
in the domestic market, excluding its limited editions.
