ROYAL SALUTE 53 ans Forces of Nature The Art Edition I

Royal Salute The Art Edition is a 53 year old blended Scotch whisky. It celebrates the year 1953, which saw the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and the founding of Royal Salute. 21 precious crystal vessels, hand-blown by the craftsmen of Dartington Crystal, house this precious liquid. Engraved feathers, hand-gilded with 24-carat gold, and generous curves inspired by the enchanting sculptures of internationally renowned British artist Kate MccGwire, adorn each bottle. This encounter between Royal Salute and Kate MccGwire resulted in an exceptional work of art inspired by the "Forces of Nature". This first of many collaborations aims to engage new luxury consumers by targeting their core passion for art. The forces of nature, present in Kate's sculptures, perfectly echo the whisky making process and the art of craftsmanship, transforming raw materials into exceptional results: a beautiful liquid and a unique crystal bottle.
