Royal Salute, the master of exceptionally aged Scotch whisky, proudly presents the third and final edition in its esteemed Kingdom Collection: the Royal Salute 26 Year Old Colheita Port Cask Finish.
Marking a historic milestone for the brand, this new expression is the first Royal Salute whisky ever finished in Port casks, inviting whisky lovers on a sensory journey that celebrates both the brand’s regal legacy and the heritage of the majestic former Kingdom of Portugal.
Crafted by Master Blender Sandy Hyslop, this bespoke blend is fully finished in rare ex-Colheita Port casks sourced from a renowned Portuguese winery in the Douro Valley. These casks, made from grapes harvested in a single vintage year, impart layers of sweet dried fruits, berries, spice, and nutty finesse, resulting in a whisky of remarkable depth, indulgence, and balance.
Encased in a rich cobalt blue flagon, the design pays tribute to Portugal’s iconic azulejo tiles, evoking the rippling Douro River and the vast Atlantic Ocean. It’s not only a whisky but also a collector’s masterpiece, uniting artistry, heritage, and craftsmanship.
Speaking about the release, Sandy Hyslop said:
“The Royal Salute 26 Year Old Colheita Port Cask Finish is more than just a whisky — it’s an experience crafted for those who appreciate the finest things in life. Colheita Ports bring a unique delicacy to the blend, offering a taste of Portugal’s rich heritage in every sip.”
This exceptional expression completes the Kingdom Collection, which also includes the 26 Year Old Scottish Oak Cask Finish and the 26 Year Old Amarone Wine Cask Finish.
The Royal Salute 26 Year Old Colheita Port Cask Finish will be available from December 2025 via select luxury retailers worldwide, priced at $560 USD.
