Royal Salute 25 Year Old Delhi Edition: “A toast to the connoisseurs of luxury and those who seek the ultimate in whisky craftsmanship and exclusivity”
Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail and Delhi Duty Free have launched the first Delhi limited-edition packaging design for the Royal Salute whisky brand’s popular 25 Year Old (YO) blend.
Inspired by the vibrant Indian city, the collector’s item has been available exclusively in Delhi Duty Free from October 2023. The 25YO Delhi Edition is said to capture the energy of the colourful city in India through illustrations of world-famous landmarks and cultural icons such as the Taj Mahal, elephants, sapphires, and peacocks.
The expression is housed in a beautifully crafted flagon finished with golden detailing and topped with a jewel-like stopper. The whisky, which is aged for no less than 25 years, features the finest blends, combined to create an “exceptional liquid with a glorious flavour”.
The blend continues Royal Salute’s legacy of distinction for elegantly crafted Scotch whisky.
Sandy Hyslop, Royal Salute Master Blender, said, “The additional years spent in high quality oak casks from our precious collection results in a perfectly rich, powerful whisky with a remarkably long finish. It is complex and robust with decadent sweetness complemented by hints of spices.”
Vipin Palliyath, General Manager Gulf & India at Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail commented, “We are delighted to introduce The Royal Salute 25YO Delhi Limited Edition which underscores our commitment to delivering discerning travelers exceptional luxury offerings in travel retail.
