Royal Salute released an ultra-luxury commemorative whisky to mark the coronation of King Charles III. The Coronation of King Charles III Edition was limited to 500 decanters and priced at $25,000. Master blender Sandy Hyslop created a non-age statement blend using over 53 malt and grain whiskies, finished for two years in rare sherry-seasoned Spanish oak casks, resulting in vibrant tropical fruits, redcurrants, fresh ginger and nutty caramel notes. Bottled at 52.3% ABV, it is presented in a deep sapphire Dartington Crystal decanter inside a Westminster Abbey-inspired hand-carved wooden box.
