Saludo Real Chivas Hermano

Tasting Notes

This signature expression from Royal Salute carries the Chivas house style into a realm of nobility. Crafted from a blend of Scotch whiskies aged no less than 21 years, it’s a harmonious convergence of complexity and smoothness. The nose is refined: sweet orchard fruits—apple, pear, and white peach—meld with honeycomb, heather blossom, and a gentle maltiness. Subtle layers of polished oak, cinnamon, and wildflowers come forward with air. The palate is satin-smooth and balanced: rich butterscotch, poached pears, toasted hazelnuts, and hints of soft peat smoke drift across the tongue. Each sip feels tailored and intentional, leaving behind a floral, slightly spicy finish with undertones of baked apple tart and almond cream.

Food Pairings

Serve with refined classics like smoked salmon on brioche, roasted quail, or veal with white wine and sage. Pair with soft cheeses like triple cream, alpine goat, or mild blue. For a regal ending, explore almond financiers, poached pear with caramel, or shortbread biscuits with lavender glaze. This release is dignified and versatile—ideal for elegant sipping or celebrating refined milestones.
