The Second Segment(Technical details that are mostly available on google search)

Reads the product story in the attractive packaging "Royal Salute was created to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and has since been the official partner of all ceremonial royal gun salutes fired at the Tower of London"

The blend is a result of a selection of rare and exceptional Scotch whiskies, including precious whiskies carefully watched over at the Royal Salute Vault destined to create the perfect expression. The age statement 21 implies that the selected whiskies have matured for at least 21 years before the magic of blending.
