Chivas Regal Royal Salute 21 Year Old Polo Estancia Edition
Royal Salute 21 Year Old Polo Estancia Edition – Argentine Malbec Cask Finish
Royal Salute 21 Year Old Polo Estancia Edition is the first release in Royal Salute's celebrated Iconic Polo Destinations collection — a series that pays homage to the world's most legendary polo destinations. This inaugural edition honours Argentina, universally recognized as the home of polo — home to the world's most famous players and legendary Estancias.
To capture the spirit of Argentina, Royal Salute Master Blender Sandy Hyslop fully finished the 21-year-old blend in top-of-the-range Malbec wine casks from the high-altitude boutique terroir of Cafayate — one of Argentina's most prestigious wine regions. The result is a whisky of exceptional richness and complexity, where the deep, intense fruit of Argentine Malbec beautifully complements the aged elegance of Royal Salute.
